Microsoft forced users to install Windows?
Buy a computer without a Windows operating system? Prepare yourself for a trip
Buy a computer without a Windows operating system? Prepare yourself for an uninvited "visit" from Microsoft.
It seems that Microsoft has threatened that they will send a "dispute" to the review if it detects that you bought a computer without a pre-installed operating system.
Following an article in Microsoft's Partner Update magazine, Michala Alexander, director of anti-piracy and piracy software, asked all of its partners not to ship "Raw Computer", ie. is a computer without any operating system inside.
Michala pointed out that Microsoft is recruiting "street detectives" who only have one role to monitor and ensure consumers have bought computers with pre-installed software and related services. .
The message was immediately "translated" into an implicit threat that if computer firms still deliberately released bare PCs, Microsoft would automatically suspect that they were abetting the pirated software. " If the PC leaves the door without an operating system, the team will monitor which address the computer comes from and visit it to check if they have a copy software installed ."
When contacted by ZDNet, Ms. Michala declined to comment on the incident. However, she said that the other article was very long and it seemed that a "typo" occurred, not forgetting to say that the corrective statement would be made at another appropriate time.
