In a determined strike to quell the proliferation of counterfeit software, beginning today, Microsoft will require that all customers coming to its website for upgrades and other downloads submit their computers to an electronic frisking.
I don't like this for a variety of reasons, privacy being just one of them.
Also, I'm not very computer literate (though literate enough to be worried about this I guess) so can someone tell me if they will just be searching for illegitimate Microsoft products? Or will it be other kinds as well?
