Pirate XP

Microsoft is known for hating the pirates and everything related to them not long ago they opened their first anti piracy in Latin America located in Colombia, Microsoft also wanted to expand this campaign to China, where they weren’t received as well as they would’ve wanted, because a Chinese lawyer issued a formal complain to Microsoft stating:

Microsoft’s measure will cause serious functional damage to users’ computers and, according to China’s Criminal Law, the company can stand accused of breaching and hacking into computer systems of Chinese.I respect the right of Microsoft to protect its intellectual property but it is taking on the wrong target with wrong measures, they should target producers and sellers of fake software, not users. The authorities should take action to protect citizens’ property and privacy rights. Microsoft is manipulating our computers through the WGA and it will affect our use of computers, the company should stop the action immediately and do some constructive things, such as lowering the price of its software and changing its business models.

I think Microsoft will have a hard time there, but I also think the lawyer is kind of right, because the Windows Genuine Advantage has a lot of errors, and I dont know why the final user has to be the one paying for the product makers mistakes.
