Constant review
Microsoft has worked out the 20 most pirated product IDs and SP2 will not install and run on any copy of XP bearing one of those numbers.
"The situation at the moment is that we will block those," he said.
Haha fckgw-.... mag het dus schudden... Maar wat gaat microsoft doen aan: THE BLUE LIST QUALiTY RELEASE ????
It is unclear what effect this strategy will have in countries where much of software used is illegal. For instance, the anti-piracy Business Software Alliance estimates that 92% of software in China is pirated.
Mr Randle said Microsoft was keeping its SP2 strategy under constant review.
"Whether it will change between now and launch I do not know," he said.
Service Pack 1 for Windows XP worked with almost all legitimate and pirated versions of the software.
Only those copies of XP that used the two most widely pirated product IDs were barred from getting the upgrade.
92% die chinesen zijn echt wel goe !!!
Ik zou graag zien da ze het service pack zo maken da het echt alle illegale keys blockt... Kvraag me af hoealng het dan duurt voor er ne slimmerik den boel weer kraakt
Das dus het nadeel da microsoft heeft als markleider:
Ze hebben een paar 1.000 man in dienst om den boel safe te houden...
Er zitten een paar 1.000.000 man klaar om elke poging van microsoft kreupel te slagen...
When will they learn?
