Microsoft corrects Windows 7 anti-piracy update designation

In this morning's posting:

Who Owns Your PC? New Anti-Piracy Windows 7 Update "Phones Home" to
Microsoft Every 90 Days:
( http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000681.html )
the KB number for the update under discussion was originally listed
without the leading 9, since that was the way it was provided to me
verbally and confirmed at that time by Microsoft.

They have now notified me that "Update for Microsoft Windows (KB971033)"
is the actual designation ( http://lauren.vortex.com/WAT-KB971033.jpg ).
