Let's assume that you are not using legitimate copy of microsoft and you received this counterfeiting message and the black screen. Is there any other way to get rid of this message and black screen apart from regestering your windows copy.
My guess would be that Microsoft put some time and effort into making sure the answer to that question is negative. Unless you are the Chinese government**, in which case you've got ready access to a copy of the source code.

Indeed, although your feedback is probably more likely to be heard if you get yourself onto a beta programme rather than hoping some poor soul will trawl through forum postings.
But licensing issues aside, in principle, yes, I agree with you, Microsoft need their software exposed to as much QA time as possible !
