Somehow upgrading from MS-DOS 3.30 to 5.0 was alright, but 6.22 seemed like a lot of clutter. QEMM386 was the shit. My 8088 got the coprocessor upgrade at some point I’m Geoworks old. With the C64 on the side
Oh…
I memorized that key from pure usage. Good times.
Oh wow you just reminded me I did too at one point. Wild to think back on that part of my life, I’ve barely touched windows in over 10 years but man at one point so much of my brain was filled with windows related junk
Real Gs had Windows XP Black Edition burned to a CD. This appears to be vanilla XP.
Is the implication that this was for someone who was a kid growing up then? Or just that this was a prominent memory of an older teen? Something else?
The CD Key written on the CD was a very famous infinite license key that pretty much everyone who had a pirated copy of windows was using. You also used to need to reformat more often for a clean wipe of your computer, so many people got used to entering this specific key.
I appreciate your answer very much, I was just trying to understand the age part of the meme.

I had the same key on my XP disc.
What the hell? That’s the same combination as my luggage!
That’s the stupidest combination I’ve ever heard in my life! That’s the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
How do you know my WiFi password???
I was thinking the same thing! I swear I’ve used this key.
You 100% did, it was the most used winxp key out there, it always works until Microsoft fucked it.
Thx for the key shithead
Have fun with XP? Not sure Microsoft even cares anymore
They didn’t even care back then, they sure as fuck don’t care now.
Damn, I think I once asked for their version 8 CD, was amazed at it!
i think i had the gutsy CD
they really did make the linux desktop usable by normies didnt they
I miss when they just sent free CDs.
Windows XP is what made me switch to Linux.
Ubuntu is what made me stick with ANY distro as long as it was not Ubuntu. Most crashy breaky thing ever.
what’s the license number for Ubuntu?
FCGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-287Q8

This is the internet. You can say “fuck GW”, it’s fine
I think people say “fuck Games Workshop” even on reddit
I was thinking “Fuck George W”
I thought it was people arguing about BASIC-A vs GW-BASIC.
Oh, that didn’t stand for GoneWild ?
Unethical life pro trip. If you are installing windows xp through 7 and need a license key, just search on eBay for “Laptop Parts Only” and find an auction where someone was nice enough to post one.
Does it count that I am 20 and have spindles of blank old CD/DVD spindles?
You have spindles of spindles? That counts, yes.
Not exactly Workbench 3 disk 1 is it?
Came here to post just that :D
Older than this. I stopped before XP.
How do you stop, please teach me master.
I installed Ubuntu, and never looked back. I’d recommend trying it, and I hope it fits you too.
The key that’s so commonly used, it’s in Wikipedia.
