(" Stop ! WPD ...show me your serial number!!")

Guys...every now and then some friend,collegue,cousin comes up with something like "Hey dude, don't use a pirated copy of Windows cos if you connect to a Microsoft site they will find out and they will freeze your PC..."

To me it sounds a rumour,one of those that circulate via email...but I'm sure
it could be done...I mean : reading your serial number from a website,checking if it's a legal copy...and so on...

Whattya think ?!
