Been using that version and its great, you just have to use an activation patch that temporarily activated the copy of windows until February of next year, you can do windows updates and use it just like you would if you bought it. February of next year you need to type in a legit CD key or it locks. (Or you can crack it)

But I dont even bother cracking Windows OS anymore, Microsoft finally got smart and just made it super annoying to crack Windows machines and I dont have the patience or time to deal with little things like that anymore.

Either way, sent you a PM.
Thanks Daemon32. So that activation patch you sent me is only good till Feb of next year?

Also, how big are the .iso's (I'm assuming the torrents are for ISO's). I've heard the 64bit should be like 3GB and the 32bit (x86) should be 2.3GB.
