 : Malaysia's brazen software pirates are hawking the next version of Microsoft Corp's Windows operating system years before it is supposed to be on sale. ^

Oops! This is too much of Pro-Activeness, but of no use anyway, when it comes to product support and quality.
I think most of the longhorn features are still in stuido level, and never been exposed to public. In that case these pirates will make money out of selling garbage to customers. There are some cases where companies tried to sell Linux with XP shell (lycoris i think...), but not able to get stability over the product market.

Well, Today I hit a Century with this posting. ;)
