Is this illegal to use on-site, if they're providing the key?

Another thing, how does all that fit onto one CD? I'm just curious.
 
Doing a windows install on a computer with a valid license is definitely legal. The question you have to ask is what kind **** is the warez 9 in 1 loading in addition to windows? I've played with it on test boxes but there is no way I would use it on a customer's box.
 
I have one of these (somewhere) and it doesn't fit on a CD in will fit on a DVD though. There are differnt ones (I think there is a way of making your own). The only thing that has to be legal really is the key. I would make sure that all of them are orginal and not some cracked version.

*Found this http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-create-multi-os-cd.htm I need to give that a try and just put the versions of XP and Vista on it*

Yea, that's what I was asking, if it is good to use with a legit(legal) key. Actually, I haven't tried this yet, but I burned the 9 in 1 cd to a cd-rom, and it fit. I don't know how, but it did.
 
The 9 in 1 SP2 iso will fit on a CD; the 9 in 1 SP3 iso needs a DVD.

IMO, very handy to have. Especially when you need an oddball disk of XP that your EU doesn't have.

Sure, I suppose there's a risk that the iso could be tainted with bad stuff, but IMO, I kind of doubt it.

Both are available as isos on as a torrent. Look around for 'em.

Ditto on these comments. If you really feel that there is a problem with this software, then scan (virus/malware) the heck out of it.

Using this CD and my XP MC2005 CD's (there are two of them) along with Sourceforge's Unattended software installation setup (on a 2003 Server / workstation setup) I'm able to install all flavors of XP with SP3 & am able to install W2KSP4. It's quite easy to setup and use and the 9-in-1 is an excellent CD to have. Just use a keyfinder / changer to insert the proper COA when you are done with the installation.

And by the way, using the driverpacks (driverpacks.net) with this install procedure does a great job of installing nearly ALL necessary drivers for the installed hardware in the computer.

I use this setup in my workplace - service / sales of new, used and recycled desktop / laptop computers.

I cant find a 9in1 with driverpacks integrated, any links?

I´m not so concerned with what is considered legal according to MS EULA.
They practice bad business practices and use their monopoly in a rotten way.

Blindly following the EULA is not in anyones interest.

same question here...

found this from Microsoft WindowsXP Eula

4. LIMITATIONS ON REVERSE ENGINEERING, DECOMPILATION, AND DISASSEMBLY. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

pretty certain that there is some level of compression on the files to fit 9 version of windows to 1 cd, is that a violation of this section?..
 
I think it uses hard links. One copy of a file is stored somewhere, and all the other "copies" point to it. the Vista CD works this way.

as for legalities, technically it is not legal to use. MS wants you to use the original OEM media
 
Any of the 9 in 1s that I have seen had quite a bit of menu editing, etc. While they looked clean, I was always nervous and havent never used it.
 
Am I the only one that just carries around a CD wallet with the different versions? It's like 24 disks including the SP installation disks.

No, I carry all my XP disks with me as well.

Same here. Considering the amount of stuff I carry, a few OS disks aren't going to cripple me.

Also, to those of you discussing in the AIO disks; this really isn't the place to do so. Google picks up everything on TN very quickly and the last thing the site needs is negative attention from MS et al.
 
Sidenote, do you have any links to those ADs?

I don't believe discussion is illegal, not even links..
But im not sure about the US. Many things borderline there.
 
Whether or not links are legal or otherwise is irrelevant within the confines of this site, where (as you should have read before you agreed to the rules) the posting of links to illegal material is not allowed. What you believe, Cue, is otherwise irrelevant.

If you want to go looking for illegal materials do it somewhere else. This forum tries to maintain standards of professionalism. That is made more difficult by threads that leave the site potentially open to question by outsiders.
 
Noted,
did not read that disclaimer. Its a pain in the butt to read.

So are the 9in1 discs illegal if I own all the licenses that go with each and every type of Windows on those disks?

I've never heard of these "9-in-1" CDs. What I have heard of and done is modified a Dell OEM Vista install disc so that I can install any version of Vista. With the Dell OEM disc modification it is not really illegal because all you are doing is installing an unactivated OEM copy of the software, you still have to provide a legit key.
