    Actually the huge majority of system builders just use legally brought copys. The additional trouble with cracked software and operating systems just isnt worth the hassle once you end up in a real job. Unless your time truly is worthless, the 5 hours (or more) or so you may have spent fixing and work around bugs over the next year or 2, would easily have paid the full legal fee had you actually been working those hours themselves.

    Time is money, and if you can get good money for your time, theres little reason to waste it to save a few quid on some software "/

    But how can I download an OS from the Internet, when I won't have the internet to download it in the first place?

    And I prefer to be legal, makes o feel better.

    Do it on the computer you're using now

    I'd preorder Windows 7 and use the RC until it comes out. Its as stable as any other OS I've used

    Yeah it's pretty easy, just downloading it is time consuming I guess.
