Your WinXP: the real deal?

Microsoft is no longer providing updates for non-genuine WindowsXP copies.
Microsoft is no longer providing updates to non-genuine versions of its
Windows XP operating system. From today, the company has switched over
to a full launch of its Windows Genuine Advantage Programme as part of
its ongoing anti-piracy campaign.
Are you using the real thing? Here in the Philippines, piracy is so widespread that unless your copy is OEM, you’re most likely to be using a bootleg OS.
The quoted article cites that MS is willing to replace pirated software
with the genuine versions free of charge with a submission of a piracy report and proof of
purchase. I wonder if the MS Philippine office is willing to do the same.
