I've seen far more copies like this than original XP discs. It was the style at that time!

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

I can smell this photo

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

Not exactly Workbench 1.3 disk 1 is it?

Older than this. I stopped before XP.

Ama bout to score me a free copy of XP 😏

that is so cute.. less than 1gb

missed that day

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

J3QQ4-...

I don't remember if that was from XP or 98...

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.

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

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

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

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.

laughs in C64 BASIC

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...)

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