1 - Microsoft has every right to try and keep software pirates from
benefiting from upgrades, but...

2 - No software pirate with as much as half a brain will use a serial
that's widely used by others. Even so...

3 - It's almost impossible to keep somebody from using an upgrade
that's been "slipstreamed" into original installation files.

But I suppose even a net with huge holes in it will catch a few fish!
