As a result of its popularity, Windows is the operating system with the most pirated copies installed on computers worldwide. Yet something that would never come to anyone's mind is the fact that the military of a country with strong anti-piracy laws uses non-genuine copies of an operating system.
Well, no one can resist Windows even the US Army or the US military. The situation became public when a soldier who belongs to a US army base in Qatar sent by Torrent Freak a photographic proof of the army's negligent licensing policy, in the case it was Windows 7. And that would certainly not be the first time the military was in the midst of the drama of unlicensed software because just a few weeks ago the US Army had to pay 50 million USD because of the use of pirated software for logistical purposes .
The situation in legal terms is not so serious since only 18 computers of the education center in the soldier's military base meet with this problem. Despite the small number, the level of neglect of IT field superiors in the US Army is not uncomfortable.
