...or simply backed up their data? -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Pranav Lal Sent: 03 January 2008 15:04 To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: microsoft updates Hi all, I have encountered a significant number of home users running pirated copies of Windows XP. They know they cannot update but do not really care. When they have a problem, there vendors come, format their machines and they are ready to go. Of course, the same users whine that all their data was lost. It is useless pointing out that if they had used genuine Windows XP in the first place, they would not be in this position. Pranav
