    Have you stolen software from Micro$oft? You are going to jail!

    Ok, maybe not jail but Bill & Ballmer just released a patch that scans your computer for bootleg M$ products.

    If you have some on your computer, and I know a few of you aren't running licensed copies of Office, don't update your computer.

    How many people do you think this will affect?

      just another reason to use Apple or nix

      its kinda fucked up they just can add on shit like that as they please

      Often times I wonder why
      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
      When sickness comes I must decide:
      When feelings go, theres suicide.

            Fair enough too! I've fucking PAID for my copies of Windows (two boxed pro XP's) and my copy of Office Professional 2003 (tho I actually run OpenOffice 2 as it's faster )... so if people aren't running licenced copies of Windows and other MS products, tuff on them. Why should they not pay if I did?

            That's how I look at it ...

            You wouldn't use stolen content for your paysite so you shouldn't use stolen software... just my view... but a pretty moral one I reckon. Just because you don't like what MS do, or how the price their products, doesn't give someone the right to take it free...

            I don't like the fact that the Aston Martin Volante DB9 is hahaha163;115,850, but I sure as hell don't believe in stealing it instead!

                        wow, half the world has pirated software, including windows

                        but... well, if you have pirated windows, you cant get any updates anyway?

                        so this will affect only those with legit windows but pirated "MS office" f.e. ?

                                    Actualy that's besides the point. There are millions of computers running illegal copies of Microsoft Windows (an OS with tons of vulnerabilities). By discouraging (or preventing) users of illegal copies of Microsoft Windows to update their system with the latest security updates, Microsoft guarantees that those systems will be compromised in the near future (new worms exploiting new and old vulnerabilites are released every day). Microsoft effectively (and knowingly) increases the number of compromised computers on the internet.

                                    More infected hosts -> more worms scanning -> more bandwith wasted, more legally owned sytem that are compromised (since worms can spread faster),...
                                    More infected hosts -> more worms scanning -> more noise triggering your IDS
                                    more infected hosts on the internet -> more costs for everyone who uses the internet.

                                    If Microsoft wants to stop piracy the should go after the people selling illegal copies, they should go after warez sites,...
                                    Going after the users is also an option, but the should do it the right way, instead of preventing users from updating their system (that doesn't stop piracy, it only adds to the problems we are already facing on the interweb...)

                                        I've never used a piece of bootleg microsoft software in my life. I ONLY use software where I either pay to download it from the official website, or I want it new out of the box.

                                                    I wonder what this thread would be like if it was about content being stolen.

                                                      ... good point. Content and design stolen is not ok, but stealing software, using unlicensed music in movies et cetera is "ok"

My current computers came with XP, but the PC I lost in Katrina I bought and installed XP on myself. During one reinstall it had a nag that I would need to call a toll-free number within a certain number of days to continue using Windows. When I did it was simply a voice recognition system that asked me to read a number to them, then it gave a number back to enter on the PC to continue. It was smooth and took only a few minutes.

Recently I went to install XP on one of my systems (not the laptop) because I needed windows for something. It failed to install, so I called up MS and said the XP Home was for my laptop only. "What The Fuck" -- If I paid for a full installation of windows, I wanna run it on whichever fucking system I want. Fuck you MS.

                                                                                      but... well, if you have pirated windows, you cant get any updates anyway?

                                                                                      so this will affect only those with legit windows but pirated "MS office" f.e. ?
