a thief is still a thief, and Microsoft has no responsibility to support thievery. What is the possibility that people who already went to the length of stealing the operating system, are also involved with the other illegal activities on the Internet? I don't find WGA to be inconvenient and think that somehow Microsoft should find a way to wipe the disk of offenders connected to the Internet. Then your problem or vulnerable systems being hacked is gone. And also maybe the price of the operating system would come down for everyone if the cheaters and stealers and thieves in general were forced to pay their fair share.
