Do you have the right to have pirated materials?

Interesting, the same rumor was spreading around when Windows XP came out.
No, it is not true.

No. This is your typical FUD spread by people trying to get their 2% market
share up to 3%.

No, they don't have the right, and no it isn't true. They do require
that your Vista install is legal and legit (although, as always, there
are crackers out there that have workarounds. But, that isn't recommended.).

If WinV doesn't like *anything* about your computer, it will reduced it to a
puddle of slag in a heartbeat (or two).

Maybe resolve this quandary by not having pirated materials (whatever that
refers to)? To answer your question, no it's not true.
