What is "Genuine" copy of Windows 7?


A copy of Windows 7 that has been installed on multiple computers using a BIOS modifying "loader" technique is just as non-genuine as a bootleg copy purchased on the Asian blackmarket.

In fact, it is Microsoft's interest to have copies of Windows available for sale in these markets with malware on the DVDs. That way they can perpetuate the myth that all bootleg software is ridden with malware and simply not worth the risk.

If you activate multiple copies of your Windows DVD you are in violation of Microsoft's EULA but NOT at risk from malware.
