With 90 per cent of the world's computers running Windows, that's most of us. Linux is still too fiddly for those who use Windows day in, day out. Will this drive masses of computer users into the arms of Linux, the open-source computer operating system you can download for free? Probably not. So if your copy of Windows came on a blank CD from a mate up the road, chances are you'll be refused access next time you try to download the latest new additions to Windows. In a new drive to stamp out the software piracy that is eating into its gigantic business, Microsoft is asking the tens of millions of Windows users to prove their copy of the software is genuine before they are allowed to receive any more automatic updates from the Microsoft website. If you're running a pirated copy of the Windows computer operating system, your illicit affair with the biggest software company in the world is about to end in tears.
