Pirated Windows 7 – How to Tell.
Quote: Microsoft considers users running pirated copies of its software as victims of the piracy phenomenon. And although in some cases, end users are themselves pirates, in others, customers indeed fall victim to counterfeiters that sell them bootlegged products masqueraded as genuine. The Redmond-based company is well aware that in certain cases, the bootleggers use advanced technology to replicate Microsoft software, to the point where even its own employees can barely tell the difference between genuine and pirated products. This is why the software giant is offering How to Tell to customers, an online resource that allows them to compare the products they acquired against genuine software, and see whether they were tricked into buying pirated products or not.

You'd be surprised how many fake disks are seized from shipments which originated in the far east and are headed for Europe (very probably the US too)... and not only MS disks either, everything from Photoshop to console games is being peddled, even fake hardware often comes to light... 
There's no secret regards what are called warez forums which distribute links to what are called cracked or patched programs, games, and multimedia material - it's as easy as being registered on one of these forums and copying the links posted... however it should be borne in mind some clandestine programs are repacked with trojans designed to turn the end users computer into a spam-bot, or steal the users personal or financial information...  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built machine

Yes, there are some things that I wouldn't touch with a 10ft. poll and a hacked or pirated copy of my operating systems is one of those things. I simply cannot believe how many people are willing to just take their chances and assume that all of these things are 100% clean and original. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009
