"The computer person" probably want to save you a few bucks! :lol:

But, the pirated is never better. You get to update and download freebies legally off the internet when you have the original windows.
For eg: You can't download Windows Movie Maker if you don't have original windows.

So choose wisely! ;)

My computer person...

is dumb like 99% other computer sellers in India. No surprise :D

Once I witnessed the dumbest thing happening on a computer shop in Pune, the seller was telling to choose Win7 over Vista because Win7 filters the viruses 7 times more as compared to Vista. :mrgreen:
Dude, are you talking about virus or refined oil :p . WTF !

Lol. My computer assembler told "Dont go for amd, it heats up. Get Core2Duo" to my dad and it was very difficult for me to prove that its better than C2D and doesn't heat up as he said.. :???:

Ha haa..this is the dumbest thing i have heard for sometime now. :hyper: In fact orginal OS is better in terms of automatic updates which keeps your system up to date from any security loopholes identified

the guy is partially true. Its true in case the OS comes pre installed with loads of bloatware.

Did the person give any reason why original version is going to run slower than pirated ?

Most people say Pirated runs slower , but afaik , bot are same operationally.

read this im chip magazine today in the "please help me, im a total noobcake" section :

i quote, roughly :
please help me, i wish to install "windows 8 xTreme edition" on my pc, but its a .iso file, and it wont burn on my dvd

these are the noobs who fall for windows 8 xTreme edition.

i bet i can make loads of money scamming these poor ignorant guys, selling them malware disguised as "windows 8 Xtreme", if i wanted to
