Comments on: Microsoft expands antipiracy program

Company will require those who want to download a local language add-on to Windows to verify that their copy of the OS is legitimate.

Patriotic Piracy?

So, more checks if you don't happen to be one of the priveledged, whos language packs ship with the OS.

I wonder if Microsoft will face contention from this in the European Courts for being discriminative, and favouring English speaking countries!
