Arr… Vendors in Beijing’s Zhongguancun market are charging customers $7 to install Windows 7 onto any computer. The hilarious part? The copies of Windows are pirated.
The service takes about 40 minutes and includes a full install as well as a quick crack. Win7 Family Edition costs $11.
I haven’t actually seen any Win7 cracks – it just never came up in my searches – but this points to the possibility that either Win7 is hard to install (which I don’t believe is the case) or that the cracks are quite complex right now, similar to the old tricks you had to play with XP.
Umm pretty much every copy of Win7 on da torrents is pre-cracked and activation free…
Actually John, the cracks are REALLY simple and easy to use.
I run an Original copy of Windows 7 on my computer, but I decided run a pirated one on a virtual machine, just to check how the crack works.
Its EXACTLY like the Vista, it emulates the BIOS and make the PC think its an OEM version.
I used Windows Update to update to the last version of the software last night, and it still runs flawless.
SLIC 2.1 FAIL.
yeah seriously what are you talking about? Haven’t actually seen any? I’m looking at three, and I haven’t even left the room i was in when i read this post.
wow what a bargain for windows7.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate for free.
Used Hazar Beta 2 to activate, it uses the HP certificate and an old Vista Loader, but works fine. 7Loader eXtreme has a lot of option of certificates and loaders. I dislike the 7Loader made for Windows 7 because it shows as other operational system. Will keep with the Vista Loader, no problems so far ;}
jajajajaj
Windows 7 cracks?
What people are using are “activators”
I have win 7 original in my pc and I installed a genuine copy in my laptop, but I didn’t use a key, so I just did a quick search on youtube for “activate windows 7″ and WOW there is a good amount of videos the show how to activate win 7 ultimate and they also give you the link to download the activator, I tried one and as of now, my win 7 copy runs with no problems and it even updates!
its not that difficult, but $7 really isnt much to pay to not have to worry about the install and the hassle of moving the data.
when i read the headline i was like wait, people are paying for a cracked copy? but then i saw the $7 price tag and it made sense…
and as far as i know installing pirated copies of 7 is as easy as installing a legit copy.. thats just here say though…
I have a couple of legit copies for my home. I swore off pirating once I left college and got a job that paid me money.
The install was the easiest I’ve ever done. Booted into the Win7 beta (ultimate), dropped in the disk (home premium), clicked a couple buttons and walked away for a hour. Done.
Haha, $11. It will probably work for about a month before Microsoft shuts the bootleg copies down.
The Chinese can’t be trusted.
