If there are reasonable hardware differences then I'd be more inclined
to blame that; however, having seen first hand what most computers
running pirated software are like, usually there are some bizarre
problems with them (malware, or corrupted CD images being downloaded
perhaps?). I don't see unpatched versions of Windows causing too much
trouble outside of being zombie machines though, I've lost count of the
number of machiens with the Klob or Koobface viruses on them (ie:
AntiVirus Lab 2009 malware or Antivirus XP 2008/9). I swear sometimes,
the number of machines that come in with those new viruses makes it seem
as though all new machines are just shipping with it preinstalled right
from Redmond.
