I'm 99% sure it does a genuine check on windows, I couldn't install WMP 11 because of it (the genuine check). I don't use IE anyway, so and upgrade wouldn't be almost pointless.

If its simple stuff then you could just get a distro of linux your comfortable with instead of forking out a hundred and something bucks for a piece of "*"*"
