I beleive M$ is damaging the internet because of it's current policy regarding service packs and the like.

Whilst I am against pirate software, it is a fact of life that many users of M$ products have not paid for them.

It is getting harder and harder for the users of the pirated software to get security updates and the like wihout paying for legit versions. While I understand that M$ is simply trying to ensure it isn't ripped off the large pool of unpatched M$ products if a large source of internet problems from infected/owned/zombied machines.

What's the answer to this, dunno?

Any thoughts?
