"Is this copy of Windows legal?" menu item in XP

[Valhalla1]

So as everyone knows pirated copies of XP are everywhere... anyone know what happens if you click this on a pirated XP installation? (in explorer, under Help menu)

just curious. so many possibilities! instant hard drive format.. internet notification to microsoft.. immedate cruise missile strike on your current coordinates.. or just a nasty dialogue box!

It opens a web site that goes through a series of questions to help you determine if yours is legit.

 

They shock you through your mouse.

That would be my guess.

You click it, then approx 40 seconds later you hear multiple jets flying overhead. Then you wait for the inevitable. Bill Gates shows no mercy.

Must be looking in the wrong place..

I'm tired..

I'm going to bed now

DO NOT CLICK IT
I DID AND IT CHARGED 99 DOLLARS PLUS TAX FOR THE COST OF XP. IT WASNT COOL AT ALL MAN. BILL MUST HAVE BEEN ON MY SHOULDER OR SOMETHING

[Brutuskend]

Ah HA!!
