If this works, we will see all computer cafes and corporate/government computers in 2nd and 3rd world countries move to linux/ubuntu this may actually have the opposite effect that M$Hite desires
if you have pirated windows os don't enable automatic update. Update your os manually and don't install anything related to wga
I've seen original versions pass as "pirated copy" and pirated copies pass as "original". I really don't get what this guys do, you gotta love linux. They should probabily develop a product that one really wants to buy.
Yes, they are always killing pirated version . Personally I think more and more enterprise users will turn to Linux, especially ubuntu version . At that time, less and less pirated version of windows.
And they should. I think MS would rather thieves and pirates use open source. You can't sell products to thieves, so why try.
Piracy should be stopped, but companies such as Microsoft , price softwares a lil bit higher , then they should. We users are forced to use Pirated Softwares. BTW, i am a legal thought guy, i 've bought MAC OS .. and other MAC softwares .. some other Windows applications,games,music and movies .. but Microsoft Prices for Both "Microsoft OS and Microsoft bUild Softwares" are really priced high ... they should price it down a bit .. and most of us will surely buy them.
The prices are high because of piracy.. they have to make up for it. Microsoft sucks, I doubt what they trying to do will work.
I have disabled my automatic updates and i review each update if necessary before installing it into system.
