rhythmnsmoke Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I was watching Fox News yesterday, and caught a breif 2min clip of them talking about Microsoft's new approach to securing copies of Windows XP. I think it mentioned that they will no longer require you to put in the authentication code, but some way or another they are checking the actual hard drive. Does anyone know any more about this?

Martin Zugec Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yep, I heard a little... There are more plans on changing activation... For example there will be some time delay before you will need to activate your windows (so you can use activate in winnt.sif and it will automatically activate when internet is available)... However AFAIK you will still need product code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiMoNsAyS Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 not sure if this is good or bad internet/phone activation is a pain in the a** but i wonder how many time could take to crack vista's copy protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 may be, yes, but it think that this one will take a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhythmnsmoke Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 It seems that everytime Vole comes out with something security related, it gets broken within a matter of 42 hrs. at the most. That would be quite frustrating that people keep breaking your stuff all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
