If it's an untouched version, nothing. Just make a bootable disc from it, although this is warez and we're not allowed to talk about it.

| Obviously nothing, just the non bought OS is a cracked/unregistrered version of original one. Probly you won't get some updates with the torrent version. |

Bought OS: When you download things from the microsoft website it checks your computer to see if it's a registered copy.

| That's all b$. My Windows Vista Ultimate x64 is torrented, yet all updates and stuff work just fine. I can boot from it and reformat. The only difference is that you don't get that shiny box from Microsoft. |

Nobody seems to have mentioned the ever-so-slight possibility of bundled "badware" with the pirated copies. I will mention it here.

When the FBI check your computer, you're screwed.

If they ever do that, I'll probably get fined 3,000USD+

1. Protect the United States from terrorist attack (see counter-terrorism);
2. Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage (see counter-intelligence);
3. Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes (see cyber-warfare);
4. Combat public corruption at all levels;
5. Protect civil rights;
6. Combat transnational/national criminal organizations and enterprises (see organized crime);
7. Combat major white-collar crime;
8. Combat significant violent crime;
9. Upgrade technology for successful performance of the FBI's mission. |
I don't think they deal with anything civil except to protect it

| It wouldn't be the FBI, but if you get caught with something like that, Microsoft would sue by components of the OS. It would be a hell of a lot more than three grand. |

Buying: You feel good about yourself and are proud to say "I didn't pirate my copy of Windows!"
Torrenting: You feel like shit and want to kill yourself.
