Microsoft has gone out with a Pardon to all pirates that they can update the extremely important update with no risk. Microsoft will not even check if you have a pirate version or not as long as you do an update.
I guess the amnesty goes out to all pirates down at Pan Tip plaza as well and it won’t take long before they start selling a CD with the update.
Apparently the update stops hackers to take over your computer and the normal blabba blabba. Why do they not sell programs that work in the first place?
So to all my readers go directly from my blog to this site and update your computer before drinking your first beer.

If you have a legit version of XP (big chance) then you can do a normal update of the system.
