The continual barrage of security holes and exploits of the world's most popular operating system demand the ability to download the patches and updates as soon as they are made available. Hacked versions of XP are operating systems begging to be assaulted by any of the script kiddies playing on the net. |
In truth if you have a bootlegged copy of windows then it's best to get the sp1 installed. If not then your putting owners of legit copies of XP at risk. You have to download a hack. I'm not telling you where though, use your friggin brain.
