It's all a myth anyway, according to the Daily Mail. Richard Littlejohn said so, and he knows more than all those "scientists" combined!

But check this clause in their cancellation FAQ:

"On the Be unlimited and Be pro packages, you may cancel your service at any time, providing you give us 3 months' notice."

Windows Genuine Advantage Gets More Lenient 228

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday February 27, 2007 @03:46PM from the you-may-already-be-a-pirate dept.

Troglodyte writes in with word that Microsoft is revamping its Windows Genuine Advantage program so that it labels fewer users pirates. WGA now has a third category besides "genuine and "not genuine," called "not sure." Quoting: "[I]t's quite obvious what is going on here: Microsoft has added 'not sure' as a way of cutting down on the number of false positives associated with WGA. As many as one in five PCs were failing WGA checks, but this new setting should both reduce this and give Microsoft the chance to investigate further the kinds of things that are landing folks in the 'not sure' category."
