Re: Microsoft Allows Pirates to Install XP SP2 said by Steve: said by ylen131: Are you saying that anonymous source have told you that sp2 will have security feature that will prevent windows that have been pirated from applying the patch?
A Microsoft person has just confirmed to me that the official policy has not changed, and that pirates don't get XP/SP2. I don't have the foggiest idea what mechanism will be used to prevent this.
I wrote: quote: I wanted to be on record as cheering MS on their decision (assuming this is an accurate report of course).
And I'm fully prepared to retract my only documented praise of Microsoft in the last 10 years... I guess we'll see when the SP hits the street.
