    [urlhttp://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-5466487.html?tag=zdfd.newsfeed]Microsoft has announced what it hopes will be a new attack on piracy. The company has decided to give away software to those who bought machines with fake copies pre-installed. [/url]

    Interesting. I wonder if there's any chance it would be extended to other countries....

    Micro$oft is just greasing a few palms in the hopes that they can catch the actual producers/distributers of the pirated software. As Qui Gon Jin says, "There's always a bigger fish".

    Looks like they are after the big copying outfits. Not your £3 blank disk you bought at the local car boot.....
    Nice to see you can get a max of 5 fresh new legit copies as well, providing you have reciepts...... Like you always get with the er, none legal stuff..... All for the price of postage... Tight fisted gits....
    Not bothered by small problems...
