On the flipside there are activation and WGA cracks available that let you use an illegal copy of Windows without any restrictions, including updates and so on. The losers are the honest folk who are paying high prices for software because Microsoft (and most everyone else) are spending so much in a futile attempt to stop piracy. Unfortunately we are well past the point of no return on this. Microsoft's not going to stop working on protecting their sales any more than pirates are going to stop finding ways around it.

There is also a boot loader that disables the WPA checks during windows boot-time as well. As for the windows update, Several communities (even blackhat) have made it apparent that its the software VENDORS responsibility to lock down and protect their software, even in a pirated state. So, windows updates HAS to work for all versions of said product, legit or not. On a side note, I still feel Windows7 is to expensive for the professional version. In today's market we should not be seeing $200 OS's anymore. I personally feel that Home should be 49.99, Professional should be 79.99 and Ultimate should be 129.99. MS has been in the business a long time, they have made millions from their different OS releases (the good and bad) I think its time they gave BACK to the community that makes it possible for MS to survive, and NO a time locked 7100 Beta that lasts until June 2010 is NOT good enough.

I'll bet you if you would buy a car and after 6 months something goes wrong or doesn't work anymore, you would be the first to go and nag to the seller.

These days all software companies (including Microsoft) bring software to the market that is not bugfree. Instead they rely on the consumer that paid for it nonetheless to help report the problems and help them fix it. In the mean time you are stuck with it. All testers of the beta deserve a free copy in my opionion (like they did with Vista). thanks to you they can get the bugs out.

Microsoft rather brings out a system prematurely and make money than do a more decent cleanup in house. If they played like that they couldn't come up with an operating system every 3 years of course.

I am not proclaiming piracy is good. My OS is legal and I use freeware when I can. I just want to say that there is more to the story. A good product deserves to be paid for.

Maybe Microsoft (and the other software companies) could lower the price a bit. Don't they make enough money? Make Windows 7 30 to 40 dollars (RTM price anyway) and people will not be so eager to get an illegal copy which can give them trouble. It would bring profit to Microsoft in the end in my opinion.

So what exactly has Microsoft stolen from you? In fact - absolutely nothing. If you paid for a product and didn't like it, I think that means you simply didn't like it. Last I checked, that happens with commercial products every day. BTW, if the OS came preinstalled with a system purchase you barely even paid for it anyway. The only theft is the theft associated with people illegally activating a commercial prioduct that they did not purchase. In a more fair world, the legal system and courts would be in a position to deal with this theft in the same way as it handles any other type of property theft. Unfortunately, the legal system is a decade behind the curve when it comes to software. BTW, Windows 2000 was not even released to the masses so stating that it ran flawlessly on "all systems" is pretty silly (to put it mildly)....<br><br>Stephen Interesting logic.

WGA has made it impossible for pirated users to update windows spreading malicious code as their system is left vulnerable. Viruses, Malwares, Malacious Codes & all the mess that microsoft has made & simply is not capable of correcting has given it a real bad reputation with the intellect. I myself have a Legal copy of Win 7 on my new dell laptop but still i dont feel safe surfing the web on it. I prefer linux to surf the web. So Microsoft users have started migrating to other OS. Remove WGA to make system slightly less vulnerable (In windows they never will be FULLY) & protect ur share + please keep ur eyes open & make a better Secure OS. I have paid for Win 7 but i fell less secure in it. I got Ubuntu for free but i feel more secure in it. WHY?..Microsoft has to give answers...People are no longer dumb. They are now well exposed because of the net to know what is better & what is not...& please I am no Linux fanboy... I have worked on windows exclusively since 1999 & i am a paid customer of Microsoft...This is to Microsoft that I AM NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR PAID PRODUCT.
