New Anti-Piracy Windows 7 alert
Posted by admin under: Technology .
Around the last week of Febuary, Mr.Softy will insert “Update for Microsoft Windows (KB971033)” as important update. What this patch will do is “phone home” every 90 days to check with MS servers to check for specific footprints they determine to be pirate copies of Windows 7. If you trigger this, at which time your copy of the OS will display nag screens for you to be legit.
One Comment so far...

This is how Microsoft is spying on everyone. WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) and OGA (Office Genuine Advantage) … what advantage does it really provide? Other than telling Microsoft which other company’s software you are using.
