Although.. if you go to a place like Russia, then you can buy pirated software from legit looking stores that have cash registers and everything and get a check. Although the way they put it is pretty funny!
And in Thailand too.. But it doesn't say that you bought a copy of M$ Windoze XP on it...

The proof of purchase thing is retarded whichever way you look at it.
It's simply part of PR double talk associtated with M$ trying to expand / hang on to market share.

Whilst they are legally in the right I am not sure they are morally inthe right anymore. They produce a sub-standard product and have a monopoly.

I, for one, am so glad that the death nell to this madness is already sounding.
