Piracy-check mandatory for Windows add-ons

I know I have a legit win2000pro, I hope MS knows that too.

 

Hehe, I guess they've probably got everyone that would willingly pay to begin with, so have to do something to generate additional revenue. Can't say I blame them, as long as they keep the security updates available to everyone, and as long as they don't go doing something like installing Claira on every user's desktop to track who's using what...

 

Another thread also about windows valadation here

 

There so many people complaing about this at bbr and other sites it's crazy. I mean what's really the problem If your honest, and not a thief, I can't see where you would have to worry one bit. But I suppose many people are used to stealing others software by now with p2p and all that garbage. I guess they'll get what they deserve in the end.

 

it seems security upgates to every one.
