Microsoft: Bad things happen to Firms that uses Unlicensed Windows

This article was based on the study conducted by the Harrison Group Inc.

Microsoft Corp., in a company report yesterday cited that companies using unlicensed copy of Windows are more likely to experience system failure and lost of data.

According to the research, which was conducted by the Harrison Group Inc. but paid for by Microsoft, midsize companies -- those with more than 24 PCs and fewer than 500 -- were 43% more likely to have had a critical system failure lasting more than 24 hours if they used unlicensed Windows.

Those businesses were also 28% more likely to lose customer data and 73% more likely to lose their own data than companies exclusively using licensed copies of Microsoft's software.

This is one way for the Microsoft Corp. to combat the problem of piracy all across the globe. This action will serve as a threat to every companies not only in the Philippines where the rate of piracy is very high but also to all companies around the world to use only genuine Microsoft Products.

Let's help reduce piracy. Piracy will kill our future.
