    since MSFT is trying to expand into there and hasn't yet been able to get China to even crack down on IP enforcement on their own government ministries, let alone the military factories.

  5. OLD NEWS - already fixed by Microsoft in May by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Microsoft has already fixed it by removing the link to GenuineCheck.exe from there website. A hack would be decompiling GenuineCheck.exe and turning it into a keygen.

    And this was back on May 24th, Slash-losers.

    In other words, M$ is full of shit.

    They always have been full of shit, and they probably always will be. Anyone who uses their software is just a fucking moron in denial of the facts. If the shoe fits, wear it.

    Why should Microsoft, or any other corporation, use its money and waste its time providing patches and other OS updates to people who have illegally obtained the OS?

    Because leaving all those machines unpatched hurts their own customers, dumbass. They need to fix their priorities or risk loosing the privledge of getting our money for their products.
