Anyways, I think that what NCspecV81 said was correct, in that they want people to move to Vista.

A friend of a friend of mine who uses "non-genuine" Windows XP and Vista has always installed these updates and h as never affected their install of Windows....

Lets see if this other one does the trick..... Maybe we can get some quality control on quality control... lol

I know a lot of people that wouldn't.

And people can still just turn off auto-updates. Why do they even try anymore?

I guess that means i'm gonna have to get a legit copy of XP or face a really black screen... It scares me... and a 'Get genuine' watermark... It sends shivers down my spine and chills my bones...
M$ wants us to go to Vista??? I say 'no', why should I???

I can see how it could be annoying in the case of legal copies malfunctioning. But as ElMike said, it's nothing a simple 1800 number can't fix.

But it's amazing to see people complaining about illegally procured or illegitimate software not functioning properly.

What do you want for free, your money back?

I know, That's what I was thinking. I remember when I get a computer installed and forget to activate it (Lack Of time) And remembering to do it it wont let you into Windows and you have to call and activate it.
BTW, OMG BLACK SCREEN O'DEATH

For that Ye Earned a rep Now get back to the ship.. LOL

But on a more serious matter you hit the nail on the head! I think that with any pirated file you have to work to get it. Nothing in this world is free. But there will always be a way around it.
