Anyone have an actual answer this time?
You should really tell those people who you say you know are 'exploiting xp' to go out and buy a legal copy. It's the right thing to do. Let us know how it works out and welcome to BetaONE!
But you're fooling yourself if you think everyone is going to buy a legal copy when they can get it for free so easily. Like speeding in a car, people will try and get away with it if they think the chances of getting caught are small. The software companies just need to work harder to protect their property. With so much money at stake, you'd think they could find a more effective way to curb pirating. This Product Activation thing from Microsoft has had some affect perhaps, but they could do so much more.
