What does Windows update have to do with IE usage?
Anyway, "no updates for pirated Windows" is a myth I hear repeated, but last time I checked Windows Update doesn't require passing Windows Genuine Advantage check.

If Windows Update didn't work, that would make it less likely that users upgrade IE, which increases the usage of older versions of IE. And users using older versions of IE might well choose to upgrade to some other browser, rather than to just a newer version of IE, particularly when they find that IE won't handle the sites they want to visit.
