MS thinks I have pirated sftware.....
and I don't. Their latest tool to see who is cheating now thinks I have a bogus copy. I can't get updates; I have a product key; Hewlett Packard says "Sorry we can't help" and MS is not talking to me. I read somehere a few years ago about MS not being happy with Hewlett Packard because they pre-install Windows on their computers. When I bought my computer in 2003, it came without a disk because HP puts a recovery application on a locked D Drive. I never though I'd be forced to pay twice for an operating system. Where can I get Linix.......
