i've been issued free cd keys from them before, when mine die from upgrade my pc etc

and any cd key should work.. im currently using my other pc cd key on XP home on my computer xD

I think they do care, but they're getting awfully lazy. I know of several hilarious key-related issues regarding Vista. :P

There is always an issue with Vista. *punches*

Stupidest thing had to be trying to get a hold of an Adobe Photoshop keygen, and instead of using my friend's that works, I looked it up online. I downloaded it, and it was an .exe file. Usually I'd be like, "Ahhh, virus." but today I was feeling like an idiot.

So I clicked it. And my computer shut down.
It's fixed now, but boy, my friends in my CS major rode me about it for a while. xD

I can't remember exactly what went wrong, but i ended up punching it 'all manly like' XD, however this only made this situation worse and the DVD tray refused to open from then onwards.:\

I had this extremely weird and stupid ambition of installing Virtual PC (a Windows emulation app for Mac OS X), and so I did. Little did I know that I had to stay up until 2AM to get it working due to the install being incredibly slow.

The next day I realized I've lost like 15 GB of memory due to the app and the installation, and since it was incredibly slow, I just removed it, but my God did it take quite the time removing all the system files and getting rid of all the stupid garbage. >_>

Virtual PC is super fast on my friends MAC.

The wors tthing I did with my computer is let my older sister use it.

Let's just say, I've never seen 4 viruses in 2 minutes.

VIRUSES!!! I can't believe how many times I've had to re-install this PC with the number of viruses I get. I've had all the major viruses that target Windows, like that blaster worm thing made by that teenager a few years back.

When I was small I accidentally (Ok maybe I knew but I was little. :P) pushed the monitor into the floor from like 2/3 feet from the table. It survived but I guess that's all that I have...
