i have been using a hacked (err cracked) version of XP which im sure at least 40% of users alive are doing as well. I havent been able to use windows update for a long time now obviously because i dont have the key code or whatever the number is called. I think this has been a problem for a couple months, im not sure why they are just now releasing this info (besides trying to piss off the intraweb, which will result in hackers owning their site probably... maybe they are doing this to try to get hackers to test a new security issue)
