Microsoft: No security updates for YOU!

Seems Microsoft now says it won't allow people with pirated copies of its operating system to have security updates. On the one hand, they have a point. You should buy a copy to get support. I can understand that, to a degree.

But security is a special matter given the many attacks and denial of service attacks we see. Microsoft has a duty, an obligation, to keep computers safe and the Internet, in particular, as free from malicious software as it can. This idea of limited patches will only keep malicious code out there wreaking havoc. Given how little attention Microsoft has paid to security in general they should be giving away updates to ANYONE who wants them. What do you think?
