Exclamation XP locked!


OS - Win XP SP2

PROBLEM - Can it be possible that if I install a pirated version of Office'07, running internet may cause a report to the Microsoft and my XP may be locked. It is not a problem, I'm just asking a question.

Its safe. BTW how MS thinks people ll buy MS Office Suite 07 for 12k???
They wud either use any cheap/free alternative or use illegal versions.

BTW, opt for manual windows update and dont ever choose updates related to office 07. U can manually install office Sp1 after downloading it.

No.

AFAIK, you may receive message which states that you are using pirated version of Windows XP.

If you update Windows using windows update, your windows installation may get locked. No thing would happen with office update
