PIRATED software users be warned. Microsoft Corp is going to start “nagging” Windows users who do not have a legitimate copy of its operating system (OS).
Starting tomorrow, the software giant will permanently flag personal computers that are not running a genuine copy of Windows.
Thats all very well but what if a user doesnt mind the ‘nagging’. It doesn’t sound like M$ are going to do a lot about prosecuting people.
Bit late with that aren’t you Dammo? 
Highly dubious if you ask me in the way it installs - with Auto Updates on, it just installs itself, if you use manual updates you are presented with an EULA which bombs its install if you disagree…
downloading an update now…
wonder if thats it :S
Not the first time they have tried, and liked the last time it was cracked within 24 hours.
I manually installed updates two days ago, and I unselected the “check for pirated copy” software install (yes, I paid for my license), and there was no EULA presented.
lol, i hardly ever do updates and when i do i have to select which ones i download. so i think i will be fine 
hmm I had this about two weeks ago… the fix is simple… but im not at liberty to say on forums 
Been on their windows update site for 1-2 weeks now. It’s EXTREMELY easy to remove, with a few keystrokes and a reboot it’s all gone… permenant my arse ;).

You only get the EULA if it’s ticked to install 
My point here is that surely if you are required to read and agree to an EULA to install this piece of ‘spyware’ from a manual update, surely you should be presented with the same EULA on an auto update? Or does the EULA for auto updates read something along the lines of “I am a cretin and bequeath my mortal soul to the almighty Bill”?
Soul and first born male child and any thing of value you may leave behind when you part from this earth.
