Your WinXP: the real deal?

Microsoft is no longer providing updates for non-genuine WindowsXP copies.

Microsoft is no longer providing updates to non-genuine versions of its

Windows XP operating system. From today, the company has switched over

to a full launch of its Windows Genuine Advantage Programme as part of

its ongoing anti-piracy campaign.

Are you using the real thing? Here in the Philippines, piracy is so widespread that unless your copy is OEM, you’re most likely to be using a bootleg OS.

The quoted article cites that MS is willing to replace pirated software

with the genuine versions free of charge with a submission of a piracy report and proof of

purchase. I wonder if the MS Philippine office is willing to do the same.
