Re: People with fake keys can't protect from Sasser! We're assuming that most pirated OS out there was intentional. Since the internet is global and most pirated software are sold in China where millions have purchased, unknowningly, software that was pirated, the effect of this new type of virus will cost many companies millions of dollars. How many of these people in foreign countries will send Bill Gates a check for a legit version of Windows? |

How many will? I don't know. How many should? All of them.

ummm
Reminds me a a friend who bought a real nice sound system years ago and «I only paid 300$ but I know it's worth 1200$, but I don't care where it came from. The guy even delivers it to my place!»
A few days later, "someone" broke into her appartment, took «back» the sound system and the TV and the VCR.
If no one bought stolen (or pirated) goods, there would be no market for it.

Living in a foreign country, I can attest to the fact that some 80-90% of the copies of windows in this country are pirated. I say, don't support them! Do not give them updates if they are going to pirate your software. I have seen major companies here using pirated software, if they want to do that to save a few bucks, then fine, they are going to pay the price when a virus breaks out. This theft of software puts US competitors at a disadvatage, let them compete with the US companies on a level playing field. |
