It's okay to run Windows on someone else's machine.  Just don't waste
your machine for it.  :-)

On a serious note, I disagree with the idea of using a pirated copy of
Windows.  You are denying Microsoft the right to make money, that way.
If you can't afford to buy it, don't use it!  I would say you're lucky,
in that case.
