Hello friends : I live in UAE , and last month i had a travel to IRAN and i wondred that 99% of their used applications are cracked versions and thats a routine in their country even they use these kind of applications in their organizations and companies , I am so swan that why Microsoft supports them ? cause i have seen that these cracked versions are updated and activated successfully. " I was looking for a windows 2008 R2 Enterprise and i found a DVD containing "w2k8 Enterprise , w2k8 Standard , and 8 different versions of that with support of x86 and x64 bit processors just for 3$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Does Microsoft know these illegally used applications ? Network is my LOVE
