Should have left "Win XP" out. We know FCKGW. ☺️

I remember reading a conspiracy theory that this key was purposely put in by a liberal employee who believed everything should be free and that’s why the first 5 digits are FCKGW - fuck George w - and that it was the volume license for Lockheed Martin or something

It’s not true but interestingly this key was leaked before windows xp even came out, like a month before, and it’s suspected to be a VLK from dell

Nowadays they’d probably say leftist

Does it count that I am 20 and have spindles of blank old CD/DVD?

Not exactly Workbench 1.3 disk 1 is it?

that is so cute.. less than 1gb

missed that day

Ama bout to score me a free copy of XP 😏

Please. You're talking to a man here who ripped his entire CD collection into iTunes ... and then backed his library up on 1.44 MB floppies.

I was thinking the album yes fragile. Check it out on on youtube. The song roundabout if nothing else.

My PC didn't support boot from CD, so I had to use about 6 WinXP floppies just to load the necessary drives to install from the CD. Good times

I think we also had the Win 95 and 98 installallers somewhere although I learned how to do it when upgrading from 98 to ME

Well, I should have Magic User Interface CD for Amiga 3.1 in somewhere. Didn’t find it right now.

Real Gs had Windows XP Black Edition burned to a CD. This appears to be vanilla XP.

I'm worried about a bunch of 3.5" floppies I have that I used to store a bunch of personal documents and journal writing from high school.

I haven't seen any of these documents for years because it's been a long time since I had a system with a floppy drive.

MF, i had the same, same disc, same key lmao

I can remember installing Windows 95 with floppy disks, that was slow. XP was great because you could finally do minor things and it not require a reboot.

The fact I recognise that key.

(Also my husband agrees with me that looks eerily like my handwriting and is the kind of disk i used OP are you in Australia...)

I memorised this key, mainly due to LAN parties, since someone would always have some issue that needed them to reinstall Wndows. To this day i can recite it in full at any time. Also my library card number from when i was 12 (in case i forgot my card at home).

I recently cleaned out some boxes of random stuff I had in one of my wardrobes and found several discs like this, some with Ubuntu 5-8.04, random drivers and other fun stuff. Huge nostalgia trip going through them. I also found this CD my dad gave me when I was 20 and had just started smoking weed:

(the title is in Swedish and means "a chill disc")

Sadly lost him in December last year, RIP dad. I normally don't smoke anymore but I'm gonna get a small piece of hash and smoke it while playing this in memory of him.

I memorized that key from pure usage. Good times.

Leaked an installation key? Microsoft is gonna send a helicopter to raid you....

At least 35. Maybe closer to 40.
