Your point Fek about MS affecting innocent users doesn’t really hold up. The downloaded tool has been in use by MS for a long time now and is solely used to check if the installation is genuine (i.e. not stolen). If it is, then nothing happens; the update is downloaded and installed and life goes on. It only affects illegal copies.[/b][/color]
My point does hold up too many things have happened with it in the past:
Spyware accusations
The notification tool has been accused of spyware-like behavior, “phoning home” on a daily basis. Microsoft subsequently admitted the behaviour, but denied that it amounted to spyware. Following pressure, Microsoft announced that in future the tool would only phone home once every two weeks, instead of every day. Microsoft has also provided removal instructions for the pilot version of WGA.Despite this, Microsoft is currently being sued under anti-spyware statutes over WGA’s non-disclosed “phone home” behaviour. The outcome of the lawsuit has not been determined.
Major Failures in WGA SystemOn October 5, 2006 a WGA failure occurred, incorrectly flagging some systems as being non-genuine.
On August 25, 2007 the Microsoft WGA servers suffered an outage, resulting in many legitimate copies of Windows XP and Vista being marked as counterfeit. The issue was solved about twelve hours later. According to Microsoft, “fewer than 12,000 systems were affected worldwide.
On July 18,2008 reports of Microsoft’s WGA and OGA servers being offline surfaced again. Microsoft later responded that only offline verification was temporarily down
Wikipedia.orgScrolling through the posts on Microsoft’s official WGA Validation Problems forum is like reading accident reports from a multiple-car pileup on Interstate 5. Many of the victims are completely innocent and have no idea what hit them, and cleaning up the mess can be a nightmare.
ZDNet.comI have never condoned piracy either.
Wasn’t the “Windows Advantge” supposed to counteract mass software piracy rather than the lone t wat that spends all day trying to get everything for free?
I saw on the news that it has recently been released in China and they are in an uproar over this, as nearly 80 percent of the products are unlicensed.
There is nothing wrong with Microsoft protecting it’s products, as long as it doesn’t affect legitimate users, which of course it has and now it will again! I think they were taken to court for something to do with this – I need to check that – and how many times have they been taken to court due to them using unlawful practices?
Of course it’s wrong to get pirated copies but then it’s also wrong for Microsoft to put things on your computer without disclosing all the facts, but they still do it!
