  Microsoft: SP2 Will Not Install on Pirated Copies of XP
Time: 18:00 EST/23:00 GMT | News Source: BetaNews | Posted By: Robert Stein

To clarify its position, a Microsoft spokesperson told BetaNews, "Press reports indicating Windows XP Service Pack 2 will install on pirated or illegal copies of Windows XP are not entirely true. Prior to installing, SP2 will check the OS' product ID (PID) against a list of known pirated PIDs. If a PID is found to be invalid, SP2 will not install."
