It's illegal. If caught (and MS does
have ways to catch folks, since XP has to be authenticated) the penalty is
several thousand dollars and 5 years in jail. MS *DOES*
prosecute.
They are made by people hacking into the
programming and changing the code. You run a risk using altered code from
something as simple as losing information, to total screwing your
system.
I personally wouldn't use a hacked
copy.

How illegal is a decoded copy of XP ? And how
exactly are they made ?
