One Service to rule them all, One Service to find them,
One Service to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Fort Meade where the Shadows lie.

here's some more good news or bad news, however you wanna take it, about windows 10. Microsoft has announced that users running pirated versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will also be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free but it'll not make their Windows genuine. The license state of their Windows will not change and their pirated Windows will remain pirated even after upgrading to Windows 10.

--- yeah right. sounds like a trap for pirates to me

It does smell fishy. But you and I both know that the really smart guys will find a way to get around that noise. Short of MS encrypting every system-file in the o.s., their attempt to lock down validation is laughable. Hackers gone hack.
