Most of the big names in computers mention ' Genuine Windows XP '
in their adverts of computers. I do not understand why the term '
Genuine ' is mentioned. Maybe they sell their products with pirated
Windows ?

Hope someone can explain this terminology.

Not sure where the confusion is for you.

Genuine is meant to convey 'legitimate' in this case - meaning the copy of
Windows XP you receive when purchasing the PC is a legitimate copy of
Windows XP - or in your words - *not* a pirated Windows.

Why wouldn't you utilize the same vocabulary as those who produce the
product so that your customers will understand you are in agreement with
them?
