lol what's wrong with getting something you want for nothing if it's legal?
but clearly this isn't, so I will just go ahead with the order. I think I've been perfectly reasonable here...:)
Edit: thread solved.
Edit 2: Added "you want" on the first line to reduce sarcastic remarks!
No matter whether you made a purchase or not...actually possessing RTM now is not legal. Beta versions were released for everyone to try. RTM is the final code....what you purchased to receive in October. It is not even released to Technet or other MS subscription sites....so any copy of RTM is, in fact, illegal to possess today unless you are an OEM partner.
By your question it is clear you're not a Technet or other MS subscriber nor an OEM partner. So, in that case...it is NOT legal.
That's ok Mani,
In principle I agree with you there's nothing wrong with what you asked or the way you asked it.
I seconded Tews remark about you denying it.
If it is a loop hole, it is legal and since all big shot's and criminals use loop holes, why shouldn't we?
Although the uela doesn't shed a clear light on this, I think it is not legal and therefore you meet some resistance here.

You need to pay a little more attn to the ppl helping you. this is the third thread where it wans't settled to you satisfaction so you started getting a little testy. Thats not the way to continue getting help
Just a heads up no offense meant

Anything anyone does under any circumstance is neither legal nor illegal until there is a complainant, petitioner or plaintiff and the due procees of law is applied. A court decides. Often, the cost of prosecution is weighed against a perceived loss when considering a remedy for that loss.
I am sincerely curious... can you provide me any examples of an individual prosecuted for using an "illegal" copy of Windows?
