andthe Update is voluntary
Dont make any sense to me at all .Do they just not want people to stop using 7 and possibly move back to XP/Vista ? Or is this just a test run of updates to counter piracy in Win 7.The update can also be uninstalled at any time.
To tell you the truth, *I'm* sweating a bit.
The current tech has a habbit of false identification now and then, add 70 more cases for false positive possibilities and I fear the number of legit users that will get burned by this
+ 1
I was one of the people who spent an hour on the phone with microshaft when they did that WGA crap with xp...
Already activated my computer once. I think I'll past on this "update".
The sad part is anti piracy protection hurts the legit users more then the pirates they wanted to stop
Would you please explain how??The sad part is anti piracy protection hurts the legit users more then the pirates they wanted to stop
How is when you buy a copy of windows at your local best buy, install it, a few weeks later install wga, have it tell you your copy isn't legal, and get on the phone for an hour with a holier-then-thou microsoft-can-do-no-wrong if-we-detected-you-as-illegal-then-you-are! b*tch! for over an hour...Would you please explain how??The sad part is anti piracy protection hurts the legit users more then the pirates they wanted to stop
That was the last time I install microsoft's anti-piracy technology!
To add, I did hear that they improved their customer support since back then...
Dont hold back, tell us how you really feal... Seriously though, I have never had any problems like the one you describe and imagine that yours was the exception rather than the rule...
thanks for the link Colonel, but that was four years ago and we are talking about WAT (Windows Activation Technology)....
