Came across this on CNET. http://news.com.com/2300-1012_3-6151598-1.html

apparently according to the captions, the fake copies looked so real that microsoft didn't know it was fake. Makes you wonder how good Microsoft's anti-piracy is

It's never been as good as they've hyped it to be.

I was surprised that one of those was fake. They both looked completely legit to me.

The first is fake, second is real. Easy to tell due to the sticker and quality of the printing.

Still looks very legit. No matter what someone is always going to be better than microsoft and be able to pirate their stuff no matter what they do.
