Yes, it could be PIRATED. The pirates are very good, today they even make pirate money that passes the PEN TEST... and that is very good BAD MONEY. Hell making Pirated MS products and holograms is almost as easy as making Vista OEM install Pirated, they had KEYGENs for XP beore XP was released.
The only thing is that over 90% of the PIRATED Vista DVD's have problems...
PS: The best Pirated DVD's came from UK, 2 was (Thailand) Asia, the cracks came for RUSSIA, and CHINA...
Now another story, did you use the same DVD to install your friends. If NO, then COPY is DVD at a very slow speed... like 2.4 or 3x NO FASTER... then use the COPIED DVD to install to your system..It is not ILLEGAL TO COPY THE DVD, it is only ILLEGAL to Pirate the KEY or Activation.
I do not use my ORIGIANAL DVD'S, I copy and use the copies...to install with.

AU, HA, amoung others.
