Laptop issues (Score 1)

When i ordered my laptop i HAD to buy windows XP HOME with the package, which I don't even use. Instead I use XP prof, which is a pirated copy. MS forces me to buy shit I don't want, then wants more $$$$ for a different version in order for me to be legit? Blocking users from updating pirated copies of windows will just force some people to switch even more so to linux. The only reason I currently use windows is for gaming, just give me another reason not to support winblows and I will delete all my NTFS partitions.
