New Windows XP Update and service pack can get u caught..
Another reason why I stick w/ win2k...
Microsoft also will use the Windows update to crack down on software pirates: It identified a stolen unlocking combination widely distributed on the Internet to install Windows XP illegally.
In an unusually aggressive move, Microsoft designed its update not to load on these illegal copies and will block these users from downloading future repairing patches from its Web site. Microsoft refused to estimate how many users might be affected except to say it identified a sizable number of illegal copies of Windows XP that would account for millions in lost sales.
Microsoft's anti-piracy decision is not unprecedented and comes amid renewed debate in Washington about the adequacy of technology to protect copyrights. Microsoft previously used another software update to sabotage its Office business software electronically on computers it believed were running illegal copies.

Yes eventually it will BUT, for people who are not aware and 'think' after they installed xp w/ the fake key that they're done. They then do a windows update to get the latest service pack from microsoft and BAM!
onlly people who keep up or are aware of this will install a fix/hack.
