Windows xp?

[8039]

Is it safe to download and install a random windows xp torrent? or can it be tweaked to have spyware and viruses?

Well think about it, you're downloading a cracked copy of windows so the cracker will more than likely embed a trojan or some other form of malware in this OS. They do it for a reason, they're not just nice guys.....LOL. Besides it's illegal to do this so I would not recommend it. This is why you should install Ubuntu Linux, it's 100% free and has far superior security than windows ever will! Here's the distro I use, it's for professional audio/video people!
