Namaste, you need to find smarter friends :)

My 72 year old mother who just got her first computer a couple of years ago now calls ME (had a computer since 1978, but she calls ME now..) to make sure I got the latest Windows update, virus scanning update, etc. "Yessss mommmmm.....". Not to mention my wife, inlaws, relatives and friends sending email around every time a new virus hits, I think I'm just gonna explode some day as I always know about these things before I get their 10-20 emails, sheesh.

However, to the point, if you stole XP you should get NOTHING but jail time IMHO. Just like trying to get the GM Service Center to service a stolen car would probably invite the cops. Theft is theft.
