It's only the best thing ever. It's legal, but you do have to pay for it.

That has everything that's on there. I've used it before, it's very useful when fixing computers, since you don't have to boot into the computer's OS. It even has a preinstalled environment like XP that you can log into, using the RAM as a hard disk.

It's God's gift to troubleshooters, that's what it is. If you pay it's legal as far as I know.

I was always under the impression that this CD was illegal in every way. I had thought you had to use a torrent to get it. Even if you can purchase it, it would likely be illegal since the purchase price would be no where near the cost of all these programs, and the developers of these programs don't get a penny as far as I know...

I could be completely wrong, but this is what I had always heard/thought.

In no way is it illegal, you are able to purchase it...but just like most things you are able to purchase, it finds it's way to the dark side of the internet.

Where do you legally purchase it from? If it is legal I'll finally buy it and start using it. I was always under the impression that it was illegal though given all the ripped off software crammed into one CD and modified so that it is all bootable. Perhaps I had just always heard from the misinformed...
