Microsoft should make SP2 available to all users and backport the changes to older operating systems, or they risk putting profits ahead of security yet again.

[quote]Few facts about SP2 anti-piracy. Like you said it will work when you install the SP2, however the Windows Update service won't work since v5 checks product key. So it's possible to install SP2 but not to use Windows Update. [/quote]

hah, give it a month longer and there will most likely be a way to get around that also. Any software can be reverse engineered.

I no longer use Microsoft products anymore, because it is too popular. Using less popular products is more safe and nobody cares about trying to exploit those much.
