yeah, if its a (known) branded pc, ur's must be having a legit winxp. didnt they give u the xp cd !? if its pirated, and if the serial is known to have been leaked, then u will not be able to update. but it is nevertheless safe to surf the internet without the updates, provided u use a good antivius/anti-spy/firewall. avast/adaware/zonealra r some good freeware in these categories respectively. u can search for them at www.download.com

if it is absolutely new and you were promised xp with the pc you can verify the validity of your windows at howtotell.microsoft.com ; if it is pirated it is your right to demand for a original copy and report your dealer.

automatic updates downloads the updates for the xp even if it is not genuine.
no genuine check is required when windows is updating itself.
but has a doubt do they get properly install b'coz once i saw log file of an update which shows repeated failure of installation but in control panel > add remove it shows installed.
Well i know one way of getting updates from net without a genuine copy of OS, is there any way i can report to Microsoft to get something back in return.

Many ppl download millions of softwares from the internet everyday and many ppl buys new hardwares.. why don't ppl buy original XP. it only cost >Rs. 2000.
Well.. just thought i would say that here.. I got original XP now.. before i was using pirated. Since windows Xp got that genuine validation tool. It got me worried, so i got the original XP key now. And to tell you all. Its nice to see when microsoft says.. "Thanks for being a Genuine Customer" - good to smile looking at that
and believe me it worth it too.. dunno what microsoft will do next.. they NEVER tell the secrets... only what they want the public to know. Just the small bitsies.. the rest big stuffs they keep to themself. I am MSC and a beta tester, i know. If anyone use windows as their OS, better get an original one. I didn't got any problems running many softwares since i got the original XP.
cheers
