Is Buying Windows Vista And Office 2007 On Ebay Illegal?

Darn good question.  I had to check out my eBAY Bible written by Jim "Griff" Griffith, copywrite 2003.  You may sell software butttttt you may not sell copied software; that in an infringment of copywrite; and, you may not sell unreleased, beta, and/or "work in progress" software that you do not personally own.  \nLet's use Windows 2000 Pro as an example.  Send the disk with the verification of authenticity from MS (a genuine hologram and/or certificate) and you are in like flint.  Send, as a minimum, the certificate and the long number the new user may need to load the software.  BTW, most of us use a Sharpie to write that number down on the CD's "lable side." \nSelling unreleased, beta, etc., software an eBAY is a great way to get Mr. Gates' undivided attention.  Good sales to you.

No, that is illegal. However, there are free word processors available on the internet. Check out open office, thats one the best! Has most, if not all of the features of Microsoft Office!\n\nGood luck.

My friend, it is always better if you use versions of windows like Windows 98, 2000 and XP professional. You can easily get them from some computer guy. They always keep a pirated CD of them. Ask them for help and be merry.\nYOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY AT ALL !!!!!!!!!

Thats illegal. Purchase the software and do the right thing.

your question is "not" very clear, "but" from what I can make of it, you have a pirate copy of windows??? (if so), get the genuine article.\nIf it was sold to you, "under false pretences" of it being the genuine article, "take legal action.

There are sites that offer downloads of MSOFFICE but that's considered pirating which is illegal. Download a free copy of Open office at www.openoffice.com. It can open and save MS OFFICE documents.

You can go to the Microsoft Website and download a 30-day trial of MS Office.\nYou can go to ebay and purchase an older version of Office for not a lot of money (like MS Office 2000 or earlier).  Make sure it's an original CD.\nFind a friend that has a disk and doesn't use it.\nThese are the only legal ways I know of.

I don't think you will get it free legally.\n\nBut if you want a free legal copy of office software that is almost like Microsoft, then you want http://www.openoffice.org/

First of all installing an OS without a proper purchase is called "Illegal". Secondly, chances are that whoever "built" your machine used a personal copy of the OS. Back in the good old days this was fine and dandy. However, Windows now implements two security measures to ensure you are running a legitimate copy - 1. The normal installation key 2. Windows Activation. You do also mention this is a laptop - well more interesting news for laptop specific installations. An "OEM" Windows installation is a bit different when installing than a typical desktop rig. The blank screen might be as simple as the disc used for the install contained corrupt data - or - as complex as you trying to "hack" your laptop in a wrong installation sequence. Installations on laptops are very specific so pay attention - obviously your buddy wasn't. My advice to you - go out and spend the $100 for a true Windrows disc and install it using the following sequence.\n\n1. When you boot hold down F10 or F12 to get into BIOS.\n2. Make sure you boot sequence has the first boot device set to CD ROM\n3. Load the disc.\n4. Don't let anybody grab your Windows disc.\n\n--> Yea we all have to pay once in a while - this is hardly a loss considering your probably going to download the universe anyway. We ALL pay our dues. Good Luck.
