I did answer yes as I did install WinXP and MS Office with illegal keys in VirtualBox. I bought this computer with Windows and MS Office installed from my employer and I should have a license via my employer. Don't know if it is allowed to run in virtualisation though.

Have lot's of cracked and copied 880K amiga disks, don't use it anymore though, My amiga OSes (3.0, 3.1, 3.5, 3.9, Intent based AmigaOS SDK and 4.0) and software I use is fully licensed.

Nah, if you bought a computer and it happened to have some software on its not down to you transfer the license.  After all its still licensed and paid for, just in someone else's name.


When my employer sells computers to the employees they reinstall the PCs with Windows and MS Office fully license compliant with MS. MS knows that these PCs are sold to the employees and my employer tells me I should delete the software when I would not be employed there anymore.
I did install Linux on that same machine and am running Windows and MS Office inside VirtualBox and this is probably illegal but frankly I don't give a damn.
For the rest I try to use fully license compliant software; mostly FOSS that is; sometimes just free software; most of the time open source software.
