Microsoft preempted Vista copying

The software giant has just released an update for Windows Vista to block the hands of smugglers.

Although Vista was only released to business customers on November 30 and will not be able to reach mass consumers before the end of January 1, 2007, recently, newspapers have repeatedly reported that Some hackers have found a way to "bypass" to get rid of the mandatory activation mechanism set by Microsoft. The new Vista update is aimed at this point.

Source: CNET All of the "incomprehensible" systems between the Vista version of Vista and the finalized version of Vista will be required to undergo an authentication test. If found to use crack software, the system will be suspended immediately, Microsoft said.

" The problem of pirated software is evolving very rapidly and it has jumped from Windows XP to Vista, " said David Lazar, Genuine Windows director. " We hope our latest solutions can frustrate hackers ."

Prevention of types

During the past 2 years, the software giant has been constantly watching and shooting software, even opening a service to check whether the software running on the user's computer is legal or pirated.

In the case of Vista, software that does not pass the authentication round will become crippled after 30 days. At that time, only the Web browser will work.

Users can still boot to Windows running in "safe mode". They will still be able to access the data and applications, but the screen resolution will be very low, the colors are blurry and almost all non-Microsoft software cannot run.

Microsoft also warned that it is continuing to study many other methods to deal with Vista hacking, cracking and copying techniques. Italian companies want to mention virtualization technology and Product Code Management Service (KMS).

It can be said, Vista is a fierce expression of Microsoft anti-piracy efforts. Besides the activation feature, some other features in Vista also require the software being used as legitimate versions, otherwise they will be disabled. Among these are the Windows Defender spyware filter, Aero and ReadyBoost three-dimensional interface, a technology that uses USB drives as an increase in system memory.
