My friend let me use his copy of Vista Ultimate and can't activate

hey i really really really need help...my friend let me use his copy of
windows vista Ultimate. It's the full version and not the upgrade because he
just built his computer so it didn't have a previous version of windows on
it. So i installed it on my laptop this morning and tried to activate it. It
denied my activation and i have like 2 days 3 days left (including today). If
i am unable to get it activated i'm pretty much dead cause this laptop is my
life. Am i going to ave to buy a product key from them cause i don't have
that kind of money and my friend that said it would be fine just can't afford
it right now. What are my options?

Yep, you have to purchase an additional license:

Instead of being a douche bag and trying to steal a copy of Vista, why not
go purchase a license? That way you can be legitimate? Just FYI.

If you are too cheap to do that, Just FYI, then you might as well go see
what Ubuntu has to offer. Ubuntu is FREE and has OpenSores software like
Office that you can also use for FREE.

Just FYI

well i don't wann be a douche bag and steal a copy of vista; considering my
friend did pay for it...which is why i am asking wut my options are. i was
reading somewhere that they have something called a MAK which is what he told
me he had. obviously he lied to me and now i'm S.O.L. So every single option
i can get would be greatly appreciated.

sunny what OS did that laptop come with?.. if it came with XP I strongly
suggest you install XP back on to it..

vista has so many problems that you will be very frustrated with it!

Two options I can think of:

1) buy a license from MS
2) install Linux for free

Translation: capin' crunch is too stupid to figure out how to properly
install and configure Vista so he hates it and thinks everyone else
should do the same.
Problem is, most people are much smarter than he is!
Pity huh.
Frank

i never tried out linux before...always been a fan of windows basically. how
is linux and where do i go to get it for free?
