As of today, Microsoft is Enforcing WGA, which means that if you're running a pirated version of Windows, Microsoft will detect this and you will not be able to download the majority of Windows updates/patches/software upgrades. Only patches for certain critical security flaws will be allowed to non-genuine users.

I think it's interesting how Microsoft does all this to stop you from stealing their product, but will still fix the major security holes that the hacked versions have.

Talk about forgiving your enemies eh?

Some of those security holes could put other legit windows users at risk.

I thought about that for a while and figured it'd be bullcocky.

I guess it does happen :O
