SP2 Allows Pirated XP PC's
Quote:
Many users have questioned why illegal PIDs are being allowed on a Windows XP SP2 installation when they were blocked in previous betas. This is due to Microsoft's new approach on security in Service Pack 2 to prevent any further Windows XP machines from getting infected with viruses and malicious attacks. Microsoft's Gary Schare answers:..."There have been a number of discussions on this newsgroup regarding whether SP2 will install on non-genuine (aka "pirated") versions of Windows. Here is the official Microsoft position on this topic:...We expect that nearly all Windows XP users, running genuine or pirated Windows, will have access to the security technologies in SP2. The same users that were blocked from installing SP1 - those that have used a small set of legacy pirated product keys - will be blocked from installing SP2. We believe that there are very few systems in use today that use these keys -- in other words, the pirates have moved on to other keys which we are not blocking....So how do we charaterize our policy?

We want to make sure that the broadest number of people can install SP2. The nature of malicious attacks on computer users is constantly changing and we will continue to evaluate how we deal with security updates for pirated versions of Windows to best protect our genuine Windows customers".

Thanks, Gary Schare - Microsoft"
Very interesting approach

Jon

Why bother trying to block them? A small percentage of people will always pirate and something like Windows is so big and so common that someone is always going to find a way..

Besides, if you do install it, it probably has code in it that can track who, where and if its a legit copy or not.

This way, they can sniff out all the pirates..... then squash them as if they were little tiny ants...

I actually run a pirated copy of XP on this machine.. I actually have a LICENSE for windows xp, but the windows install was fucked when I bought this computer.. and the backup or whatever was just as bad.. so I said fuck it and downloaded a clean copy without all the shit HP wants to install.

I don't know what your small percentage is, but I really don't fucking know a lot of people that got legit windows keys

Hardly anyone has went to the computer store and bought a copy of Windows XP.. by far the majority of PCs that have it, got it with their computer and as part of the price of the computer.

So unless all the people you know build their own systems or have some really old machines...

I wouldn't be surprised if they did that. I think it's actually a smart move for them.

I went to Office Depot and paid $199.99+ tax for my Windows XP. Getting rid of the crashes I had with ME was worth every penny

Who gives a fuck - you just run a java-applet changing the serial, and BOOM you are able to download even SP1

Where was the problem at....?

This roughly translates to...

"Well, everyone in asia is running a pirated copy of our OS, and thats where all the fucking botnets are coming from because they cant update Windows, so the only way to stop this shit is to let the Korean's who sell the pirated discs for $0.60 on the corner to update to SP2".

Lots of people can finally update to Service Pack 2...

Has anybody actually updated yet? I know every service pack ever released has major bugs.
