Alias, I actually know of cases with people in the past with people using a
pirated copy of XP and not being able to update to Service Pack II because
the Windows Update tells them they must contact Microsoft because their
license does not appear to be genuine. I do not know if this was the exact
wording but they couldn't get all the updates because they had a pirated XP.
Do you think there is anything wrong with Microsoft doing this to them when
they are clearly in violation of the EULA?

We know you wouldn't tell. Even if they could, it would take a warrant to
do
it legally and we all know that Microsoft wouldn't do anything illegal,
now
don't we? Course, to answer the OPs question, no they can't or people I
know
who have gone to Windows and Office Updates wouldn't have had their
pirated
software updated.
