General Software Discussion / Re: I'm running a pirated version of Windows and can't get caught!
« on: August 19, 2006, 03:27 AM »Not my Dell. I got two CDs with my system. One was the Dell Windows Restore CD. This just installed a bog standard Windows installation with the addition of one additional icon on the Start Menu linking to the Support area of Dell's web site. Nothing extra from a store-bought Windows CD installation besides that.
All the "junkware", trialware, etc. came on the second CD. HPs, Compaqs, etc. don't have that luxury, I hear. Heck, I hear some of those systems don't even come with a CD at all. You're at the mercy of a Restore Partition on the computer's hard drive. :: shudder ::-Innuendo (August 14, 2006, 04:24 PM)
Well, DELLs As The Dimensions (5150 Is An Example) Or Inspirons (6000 For Example) Don't Give You Any CD Either And Rely On A Restore Partition Too!!!!
