I don't know what she removed, but I no longer have a licensed Windows on my laptop because I had to put a temporary pirated Vista because there is no disc in the kit (I immediately removed the hidden partitions and made a normal adding to the last drive). Basically I do not care, because soon I will go to Win7, but it does not affect my rating: 0 with a looped minus. I will not risk putting it on my own again.
