But my point is, if your allowing it to be installed on pirated systems, why care about where its being downloaded from? If EVERY SINGLE copy of windows xp, legit or pirated, is able to use it without restriction, what is the problem?
They aren't "allowing" it, they simply have no way of restricting it reliably. I thought I made that point very clear...
SP1 did a pretty good job restricting it. I know a few people who dont use legit XP Pro and they were all blocked from getting it. What changed since then?
MS realized that millions of viral infections by their unsecure product could be prevented by allowing pirated versions of it to be patched, so thats what their doing. It should have been done a long time ago. Yeah piracy is bad, but there are things more important to worry about than that. |
