How Much Illegal Software do You Have on Your Computer?

I ofter hear people bragging about their vast collections of illegal software, believing that because it is illegal this somehow makes it better. Anyway, I was wondering what percentage of the software that is installed on your computer (If you have more then one machine, pick one.), is illegal.

I for one can proudly say, all of my software is legal...

EDIT: oops, Will someone please fix the spelling error in my poll?

I can also say that now, I have no illegal, cracked or pirated software on any of my machines. This wasn't always the case though. When I first got into computers, I had tons of it. But for the past three years, if it's on my machines, you can bet I paid for it.
