adaka is right on this one

Even though it would in the long run help us with the crap thats been going around, they shouldn't have to fix a stolen product. I'm sure Asia area has plenty of pirated versions of windows, just like every part of the world, but MS does NOT have to support something that was stolen. Thats like someone going into a supermarket, stealing a loaf of bread, taking it home, finding mold on it, and then going back to return it for the money they supposedly paid for it.

I do think they should have something in effect close up some of the security, even on the pirated versions though. In the long run, without the patches, those machines will continue to get these exploits and continue to spread these internet worms, affecting others who rightfully paid for a copy of MS software. I think it's wrong that this has to happen, but in the long run, it DOES affect the users who do pay for their software.
