I liked the comment about this.

Microsoft Trying to Stop Illegal Windows 7 ISO Downloads

Surprisingly, Windows 7 remains the most pirated version of Microsoft’s operating system, despite the fact that the company has already debuted Windows 8 and is even getting ready to introduce a major update called Windows 8.1.

comment: Even the pirates don't like Windows 8. LOL
