xp sending info microshaft
In article , "Newt"
wrote: A friend has told me that if you use a copied version of xp or me that it sends details to MS and that MS have the ability to send info back in Visual Basic to disable your pc. I didnt think this would be true but thought I'd ask you lot to shed some light on this. He seems to think that if there is more than one copy of OS with same or generated cd key that MS can track you down or render your pc useless remotely. True or false? What are the real risks of this? Newt It would be a violation of US federal law to disable a computer under those circumstances... |
