Are you guys running genuine macOS, or what?
Just curious, that's all.

I’ve got my hands on some original copies of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows XP Home Edition. Does that actually give me the green light to run some non-original versions of Windows XP Pro? 😬

Man, I guess it seems like everyone just has the originals here 🙂

Not everyone does, though.😁

I used to have the original disc, but I managed to lose it somehow. Since I had to wipe my hard drive recently, I'm working with a backup copy now instead.

That's good to know. 🙂
I honestly thought I was the only one out there dropping that much cash on Windows licenses. 😁

I honestly thought I was the only one who'd blown through that much cash just on Windows software. 😁

but most of us basically got them bundled with our PCs anyway

I've finally picked up a copy of Windows 2000—though, if I'm being honest, I'm only planning to run the license on a handful of machines at home.😁

Not a single one of these installs feels legit.

I guess I only have one, the one I just voted for 👋
everything else is probably just cracked software. 🙂

Honestly, Microsoft was such a powerhouse back in the day that my college actually gave away Windows and some other software for free to students. I guess they were really trying to secure their future or something. Anyway, just an original thought.
