Hmm... :blink:

[Storm]

cool, now lets hope they allow us 2 install the whole XP in future

[{I}{K}{E}]

they got some good suggestions why they wanna do this..

[4play]

they want to do this because unpatched illegal copies are given them a bloody nose when it comes to PR.

worms like sasser prey on people who cant or dont upgrade. of course you do need a legal xp key to install sp1.

[Rat Faced]

I think its more likely because they brought about things like MSBlast on themselves...

There were a lot of PCs that wouldnt have hit at Microsoft, if they'd been allowed to update... they shot themselves in the foot, and have realised it.

[I.am]

what are the chances that in sp2 somewhere it identifies the illegal copy and calls home :P

i hope not! :D

Oh, there will be a tool to prevent that.
XP-Anti-spy (http://www.xpantispy.org/) perhaps? :lol:

But allowing to update will solve more problems than it causes, for sure.
