I *heard* that one of the reasons for that is that most people outside the US don't have a legal copy of an OS
I also heard that in China, they only sold like 300 copies of legit Windows Vista
You can buy the best Vista (Is it Enterprise or Ultimate or something?) version for the equivalent of $2 over the counter there
I heard about Conficker a while ago now... Another windows flaw being exploited... win win windows for the win
I hope the maker of Conficker has a sense of humor and pulls off an awesome April Fools prank
Now, if Conficker itself is a lie, and doesn't exist, and is the April Fools prank... then thats the lamest joke ever
But if the maker spams pictures of horse porn onto 10 million computers across the world that would make me laugh heartily

The source of that article is in Japanese though
Judging from the amount of reference pages on that wiki site and the dates of some of them. I dont think it could be an Aprils Fools prank
Edit - Theres even an article about Microsoft offering $250k USD for who made it
Its programmed into the code too "activate" on 1st of April
Or so they say... Maybe its just the lamest April Fools joke ever
