I just copied these words from the monthly newsletter that I receive from Zen Internet. Might be of use to somebody.... not that I'm recommending XP, of course, - but as a warning about the dodgy copies apparently doing the rounds.



"REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

Microsoft is offering to replace counterfeit copies of Windows XP with the genuine article - completely free of charge. The scheme is exclusive to the UK and runs for the next 30 days. Aiming to "help people and small businesses that have been innocently duped by high quality forgeries", the initiative is designed to get information from users to help track down gangs of counterfeiters who are flooding the pre-Christmas market with high quality
XP forgeries sold in convincing packaging complete with copies of the company's holographic logo"
