My Mother is a Software Pirate

| Yesterday, my mom called frantic, because she could no longer connect to
| the Internet. While we worked through the problem, she asked, "What does
| it mean that Windows isn't genuine? Do I have spyware, or a virus?"

| Businesses also may find that some troubleshooting mechanisms could
| create invalidations like mom's. There are two rules of dead-end
| Windows troubleshooting: If all else fails, reboot. If rebooting
| fails, reinstall Windows. Some IT re-installation or re-imaging
| shortcuts could lead to licensing invalidations. But affected end
| users will be in good company. My mom.
