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
Should have left "Win XP" out. We know FCKGW. ☺️
Not exactly Workbench 1.3 disk 1 is it?
Came here to post just that :D
that is so cute.. less than 1gb
missed that day
Ama bout to score me a free copy of XP 😏
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
And how many of them are scratched to death?
This was taken a few years back. They are all ona USB drive now.
I was thinking the album yes fragile. Check it out on on youtube. The song roundabout if nothing else.
The kids have heard that one, it's the credits song on season 1 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventures.

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'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
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.
laughs in C64 BASIC
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.
