Bill Gates wants to frisk you

Bill GatesStarting today, anyone who wants to update their Windows operating system will have to go through a piracy check. The exception to this rule is the update of critical security patches. Even a pirated copy of Windows will get the security patches while other add-ons will require validation. In an attempt to convert the users of pirated copies, Microsoft will reward the ones coming out of the closet with two options. Those who send in their pirated CDs, show proof they paid for it and fill out a piracy report will get a free copy of WinXP and those who do not have the CDS but will fill out a piracy report will get WinXP at a discounted price. We might find a bigger drive to buy pirated CDs, which will be surrendered to Bill in exchange for a legal copy of Windows XP (which will be free).
And you thought you couldn’t get good ideas from this website.
