If you have a pirated Windows update CD. Your choices are limited. Not only will windows verify if you have a legal copy but it will prevent you in some cases from downloading some of there software's. They insist that all software patches will be available to pirated version but don't believe that, it's just another excuse for them to setup a patch to eventually force you to buy a legal license.
My suggestion to you is try to buy a legal second hand copy from a trusted friend. You can also save the license key from a computer you recently upgraded to and install the license on the pirated PC.
Vista is not far off and remember, when a new operating system just comes out. Microsoft prices drop and it's a great time to buy.
