Microsoft Accidentally Releases Office Anti-Piracy Nagware WorldWide

A big oops. Remember when I discussed Microsoft's trial of a new anti-piracy system for Office, which would nag users of counterfeit Office software? Well, the Office Genuine Advantage notifications update was supposed to only be trialled in Chile, Italy, Spain and Turkey. Through a(nother) mix-up, it was accidentally released worldwide for a short time.
