I don't know. How can I check waht is installed on my system, please tell me. And if I have a pirated or ceacked version I'll surely like to go to microsft for an original one.

i use pirated windows operating system, because i have no money to buy a genuine one. i dont think the pirated one is worse, as the operating system works ok in my computer.
of course, if i have money, i would prefer genuine one.

ha ha what a funny question, i use fedora 7, i don't like windows vista well as XP. But i have had genuine windows 98 CD. i found that there is nothing more in windows XP and vista just some addition of some visual effects that all. Mainly because of the high costs of windows CD i moved to Linux. IN my computer you can find window 98, fedora 7 and suse 10. Now i am planning to run a MAC on my system.
