Going open source would likely mean no key number necessary, no activation needed, free to all (unless a donation is seen fit). It could also mean some changes or maintenance being done though. In other words 'updates'. A bit the same as other open source operating systems.
I don't know, to be honest. This was quite some time ago. It is possible he might have installed another version of W7 - pirated, perhaps!
"Free"! I like that. I like anything free!
Having said that, I recently installed X-Mouse Button Control and liked it so much I made a voluntary contribution of £10. Last of the big spenders, that's me.
