I have been waiting for Microsoft to change their anti-piracy policy for a while. In fact I knew it had to happen. After all, there are literally tens of billions of dollars worth of pirated software around the world. In an article titled Only genuine Windows will get patches I learned Microsoft will "encourage" people to have legal copies of the world's most popular operating system by only allowing authorized versions of the software to receive security updates. Very clever. Microsoft should make a lot more money because of this simple change.
