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.
