Microsoft launches 'phone home' antipiracy update

B

Do you even know why they are doing that? To keep people like yourself from
stealing their products. They need to protect their intellectual property
from thieves who want to steal.

I don't care if my computer "phones home" once in a while because I have a
LEGIT copy. It's only those who try to get away with stealing who cry foul.

Why don't you go play with Ubuntu and watch the spinning cube. I hear
Ubuntu is free yet most reject Ubuntu as garbage! LOL!

I don't steal software and you have no proof that I do.

That's the job for law enforcement, not a software company.

Then don't bitch about it. If you have a legit copy, then "calling home"
will be transparent. Oops.

Wrong. That is for Microsoft to take care of. You are stupid.

So make a call and get it fixed. Takes 5 minutes. You spend much more time
bitching about it.

Stealing is a crime. Crimes are prosecuted by law enforcement, NOT
software companies. Are you really that clueless?

I have...from you...but I don't know anyone with a legit copy who has
experienced one. It started with XP but I haven't heard about any false
positives with Windows 7...not one.

How would you like it if Microshit were to send a couple of goons to
your home to look over your machine and then declare it "non genuine"
and take you computer which you could only get back if you paid up for
another license? Would you also bend over and let them give it to you up
your ass?

It was on the list of available updates, but not automatically selected. I
left it that way.

It takes 5 minutes for people with brains. In your case it might take 20
minutes.

No, clueless one, they are acting the parts of the police, prosecutor
and judge. Microsoft is not a crime prevention company but a *software*
company and should be prosecuted for pushing out SPYWARE.

Oh dear, the nymshifter can't understand the word "if" and thinks he can
speak for Microshit and predict what they will or won't do. Now, can you
answer the question or are you too much of a DOLT?
