"It's important to go back to the fundamental goal of Windows Genuine
Advantage and the risk of pirated software. A lot of people believe that it
might be about the revenue, but in actual fact, it is about the security
and privacy of the users. Some research that we've done finds that the
incidence of malware (malicious software) is a lot higher on pirated
software, so we really are trying to make sure that users really have the
opportunity to protect themselves."

    Is he saying that using a pirated key causes Windows to be vulnerable
to spyware and adware infections?
