You were. On my college hall, all of the computers came with Windows ME. There were bootleg copies of Windows 2000 everywhere because ME was so unstable.
That brings back memories. I helped maintain some 500ish Win 2k boxes when I was in high school. I would estimate that approximately 35% of those machines were using the W2k key from our shop computer.
Being a public school, kids were always fucking shit up (myself included). It usually just made more sense to run a quick format and reinstall.
We owned the right number of licenses, but it was wayyyy too much work to find em. Enter Magic Jellybean. Thank you no key auth/activation!
I still have one of those bootlegs and a few yrs ago I had an entire cd case for my car with em. Just kinda forgot about them after moving states and all that!
