[CS-FSLUG] NI: As of today, piracy-check mandatory for Windows add-ons

[Fred A. Miller]

"Beginning Tuesday, the piracy check will be mandatory for all customers 
worldwide who want to download add-ons for Windows XP.

The only exception is for security-related patches. Regardless of whether a 
system passes the test, security updates will be available to all Windows 
users via either manual download or automatic update. The Microsoft Update 
and Windows Update utilities, which provide notifications of new patches, 
will require validation."
