I think it is good that pirat copy cant pach. Pirate coby is ilegal

This post at best should be moved to BTS or should be deleted because it may advocate illegal activity (pirating).

Wait, you basically steal a copy of and Windows OS and you want all the updates that go with it?
Do you expect any other vendor to give you updates if you bootleg their products?
I don't see this as Bill being the loco one at all

BTW, piracy is against the law, no?

Hey, guys, F*** Micro$oft. I have a pirate version of XP proffesional corp, you think im going to pay all that money for this product? Never, I will be switching to Linux with my middle finger aimed firmly in the corporate direction.

I'm no fan of Micro$oft, I have a Mac!!!!

But to steal their software then complain they don't give you support is a bit strange IMHO.

Patches are Plugs that rectify the shortsight of the programmer. There are usually many security softspots in the software which any hacker or a person creating a virus can take advantage of.

If u stop giving the patches the virus will spread to computers without those patches and in process also other computers with genuine version.

Hence If I were a network admin I will be worried..
