ZDNet blogger Ed Bott, who reported last week that Microsoft might be planning to introduce a "kill switch" that would allow their Windows Genuine Advantage anti-piracy software to disable Windows if it thinks the OS is pirated, has posted an email from Microsoft's PR agency, which begins, "No, Microsoft anti-piracy technologies cannot and will not turn off your computer." The rest of the email is fluff about "genuine customers" deserving "the best experience." So, who's more trustworthy, Microsoft PR or Microsoft tech support?
