Well. it is illegal and immoral to use cracked version of windows, but in reality it is just as stable as legal version. In fact it may be even more stable, for example windows xp that is sold to individual customers must be activated, and then if you change more than 3 hardware components at once you will have to activate again. Pirated versions are usually those sold in big license pack which don't require activation. Only downside of pirated windows (apart from being illegal and immoral) is that automatic updates won't always work.
However, many version that can be found on torrents are often modified (with nlite or something else) by some people who don't really know what are they doing, so it is much better to buy original. Sorry about offtopic.
