Software pirates hijack Windows 7 China debut - Security- msnbc.com
In a bid to tackle the problem, Microsoft last year launched an unconventional campaign in China that caused a black screen to be displayed every hour for users of pirated Windows XP.
I got this black screen regulary on an unpirated verion of XP that came with my new computer. When I ran the event viewer after each event it always seems to come up with a CA virus update as the last command before crashing.
So now it's time to renew (which I won't be doing) and just load in a freebie AWG
