As long as you actually paid the windows tax and know you have had a legal copy before who cares if you crack the OS when you re-install. a retail full copy of windows runs around 200$ it would be insane to pay another 200$ just because you lost the disc and key. its not like you are installing multiple copies on a number of different computers, you are just re-installing your legal copy of the software and bypassing the stupidity of the copyright protection system.

Yeah, back when I wanted to go vista x64 on my laptop I found it ridiculous that I had to spend 10 dollars for shipping on a installation disc from microsoft for my legit paid for key. I wish they offered it as an image download. I eventually just downloaded a vista image file (not cracked) from a pirate site to install 64.

Now I'm running win7 64.
