Drive light or power light??

Well, the power light has nothing to do with Windows. The drive light, maybe.

I took it to be a legendary answer to a legendary a**hole.

You arrr supposed to activate windows??

Well, if you want a desktop slideshow of scantily clad women, then yes. If you're content with a black wallpaper, then not so much.

I've always activated mine using this one key I found on Yahoo! Answers when I was 10 years old and it has never failed me lol

me too, the ONE key, lol
I still have a CD with Win XP and the key written on the surface of the disk and in a TXT file inside the disk.
My brother used it so many times that he memorized the key.

Other than that, some pieces of old hardware can only run in a physical 2000 or XP machine whether because they can't be physically put in a newer machine due to the lack of interfaces (ISA, ATA, AGP, PCI, etc.) or because its drivers can only run in a 16 or 32-bit operating system.

Yep I have a couple of film scanners that run off Adaptec SCSI PCI interfaces that never got Vista/Win7 driver updates. Quite a few film photographers and labs using XP machines (and ancient Firewire Macs) to keep their Flextights etc alive.

I mean, this is where piracy is ethical; the developer no longer supports it and you want to use a product that you own.

True but to call it piracy is a misnomer
