"Microsoft this week denied reports that hahahahahahas XP Service Pack 2, which includes extensive security fixes, will be available for users running pirated versions of hahahahahahas... Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said last month that Microsoft makes security patches available to all users, even pirates, as a means of limiting the spread of viruses and worms. But Microsoft said this week that SP2 will, before installation, check the operating system's Product ID against a list of known pirated PIDs. If the operating system comes up as illegitimate, the update won't install."

Of course, this means those of us who did pay for hahahahahahas will have to deal with the spreading of virii from those who pirate it.
