Evasive

Evasive Action!

Saw this message swirling around the Internet the other day:
由于美国最近要针对中国上诉WTO知识产权保护问题，微软正在为美国政府搜集相关证据，在最近自动更 新中包含检测盗版副本程序，为了咱中国利益，请大家不要开启自动更新。已经开启当提示要你安装正 版增值计划请别安装！安装后会在任务栏右下角出现一个蓝色五角星符号！！！这样就会被微软追踪锁 定，以向美国政府提供证据！！！

Translates as something like:
Since the US is now appealing to the WTO regarding IPR, Microsoft is using automatic updates to detect pirated MS software as evidence for the case. For the benefit of China, please turn off automatic updates. If you've seen the notice to install the Genuine Value Plan, please don't install it! If installed you'll see a five-pointed star in the lower right corner of the task bar!!! This is how Microsoft can track you and send the evidence to the US Government!!!

Seems instead of coughing up the dough for real copies of software, it's better to cover up what you're doing? Sure, I guess. Even though Microsoft, I thought, has done a lot for China in terms of investment, research and development. Nice way to thank them...
