When I bought a new Compaq computer a year back, many of my friends raised their eyebrows when I quoted them the price I paid for it. For the record, I paid 37,500 for the system a year back. Even at that time, you could get a basic laptop for that price. The reason why I paid "so much" was for the original Windows XP software. It's a common practice in India to have pirated versions of Windows as your operating system, especially if you are assembling your systems.
I had read somewhere that time that Microsoft is planning something huge to track all pirated versions and once it is done, the pirated copies will either seize functioning or your will be penalized. Many of my friends didn't believe it and said that's a rumor.
Well, according to this report, starting this Thursday, Microsoft will be scanning all the systems conntected to net to see if you are in the wrong!
