Frankly, I believe that you are a lying coward who is hiding behind the
safety of your keyboard.  And I'd tell that to you in person, but that
won't happen because you are too cowardly to let that happen.

That is why when I get my PC, I immediately wipe the drive and install 
enterprise Linux.  I only run windows in a virtualbox.

I take you have an OEM version of Windows?  Last few PCs we've gotten 
from CostCo with Windows 8 didn't come with a disk--dell or HP.  If you 
wipe the disk and install your favorite distro and install Windows in a 
VM, how to you install and license it?

I have full copies of XP and Windows 7, both with a COA.  Got them off 
ebay.  Both Thinkpads run Scientific Linux 6.6 with Virtualbox.
