Hi
XP SP3 upgrade crashed me. I dont have my XP disc and my paid for prod key doesnt work on borrowed disc. In protest , I am moving to Ubuntu . But I have huge numbers of Windows app ( Financial Trading apps) to run. In ur approach , can I just leave a unactivated Windows XP installation using a random prod key , and just use my apps when i need to. ?
Will that be illegal? IN other words I am not running Windows XP , but only Windows apps.
