Hopefully everyone will not get the impression that I posted that to aid in pirating XP/XPSP1... Not my intention at all.

Yeah, I had a genuine laugh, after the legnths Microsoft went to further restrict piracy with SP1, then they released that KB article. I guess it's intent was for companies of legitimate volume licencing who had their key 'leaked'.

yes that is the irony here
pirates cause a problem
microsoft fights back but inadvertantly disables some licenses of some very high paying clients
then they release a fix
which helps the pirates

anti piracy hurts consumers and pirates
