the grunt is rite , remember the crack of adobe pjotoshop was out within a few hours im quite sure that the XP SP 2 will be cracked with in hours and posted within hours for download . A

According to a survey conducted it was found that big companies (like M$) let their software to be pirated in south asian countries so that people get so much dependent on their software that they do not think of moving some where else , when they open a office or stuf like that ( where they need to have original stuff) they have to move for M$ as they are very much used to it .

nice tactics that they employ !!

This also prevents a bit complicated and free OS from taking M$ place as people are used to M$ ( linux , etc) 90% of asia runs on M$( i'd say 99%) so that is why M$ says that it will take serious steps against piracy and which never really effect priacy
