How does it become annoying?

Well, I snagged my copy of XP pretty late in the game, so it's pretty up to date. But there are the Window's updates and the fact that I have an OEM means I can install my OS in about 30 minutes, go online, get everything updated in another 30, and not have to spend copious amounts of time getting set up. It just seems easier I guess. I'll probably pirate Vista to try it out but then buy it, I've heard good things about it.

im not getting what your saying is different.

my XP came with a laptop (i use linux on the laptop, so XP was free for the system)
But whether its pirated or baught, the OS works exactly the same... im assuming a pirated copy would come with a XP Key, aside from the fact its put on a CD R, there wouldnt be anyway to tell if its real or stolen.

If you don't have an OEM you might have trouble installing it, and if it's a downloaded copy there's a good chance you won't be able to get any updates.
