Microsoft Targets Windows XP Counterfeiters


24 November 2004 16:57 GMT / By Stuart Miles

In response to the discovery of high quality counterfeit versions of Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft announced today the start of its Windows XP Counterfeit Project.

Microsoft is inviting anyone unsure as to the legitimacy of their Windows XP software to submit their product to Microsoft for analysis. Software that is found to be counterfeit will be replaced for free plus p&p subject to the Terms and Conditions of the offer.

Microsoft is hoping that the software sent in will allow them to collate intelligence on the copies being made.
