Hi,
I was going through CNET News website and found this good article..

It's Windows vs. Windows as Microsoft battles piracy

It's about..Microsoft is going to block access (Partially) to their windows updates update soon for the users who are using Pirated Copy of Windows OS..

do you think this is gonna work? people are really going to buy legal copy of XP?

I think sooner or later there will be some patch to crack this also..

what do you think?

Good read, Microsoft is their own worst enemy!

All of this was forcast and more in a article I read back in Feb 2003 which is still on line.

I had more or less just switched to linux at that time, reading that article convinced me to stick with it.

The more I read the more I am convinced that all Microsoft is really conserned about is Money and Power
