I read this article on astalavista.com, it was something about Microsoft adding a new "feature" to the upcoming SP1 for XP. It stupposed to make people with a pirated version of XP not work or something, but I was wondering, does this also affect RTM builds of XP? just wondering, lets just say a "friend" has a pirated RTM version of windows.

Edit: nm, the link is dead now.

switch to win2k, no problems... no worries.

accept it is being killed by Micro$oft. That means if a new vunerability is found you are S.O.L.

Microsoft is really getting obsessed with windows xp, they act as though its a good operating system, i run xp on this machine now(legal xp) and i have had to fix more problems on the damn thing then ever before, im thinking of going back to 98 geez...my point your "friend" wont be missing out on much

yeah...i was just wondering i can always just go back to 2k, ive always liked it better anyways. heh.

If piracy becomes detectable, etc. Im fucked period.

lol, like i'd pay for windows....pfft
