Alot of times you need to do a repair install of Windows using an OEM cd (w/SP2 slipstreamed in). This will be a pain for repair technicians (with all the adware, “computer janitor” would be a better title). Larger DDoS attacks, more spam, virusses, you name it. Making it harder to optain updates for non-registered machines, will just increase the number of vulnerable/hijacked machines, and *everybody* suffers. I hope someday MS will see the light, and realize that even PC’s running pirated copies need updates.

Maybe I’ll try Win2k (or even a tweaked Win2k3 install?) for that, but no Windows XP for me. I know it is possible to run some popular shooters like UT2003 under Linux, but I just find these easier to get working under Windows. Single remaining reason to dual boot with Win98SE are recent games. Typing this comment from distro-du-your Gentoo, some other distro tomorrow. In the long run, bad news for everyone that uses the ‘net.ĭo as you like MS, I have already taken my business elsewhere. Maybe MS have good reasons for going down this road, but it’ll just annoy honest users even more, and cause systems NOT to be re-installed, cleaned from otherwise non-removable spyware or other crap, or CAUSE users to run pirated/hacked versions.

Entering a serial number is as far as I’ll go.

The same with games or other software, or needing to call a MS employee over the phone. Whatever the advantages of using the ‘net during install, if you can’t re-install without, it’s a no-no for me. New PC, install CD’s, and nothing else, no networking.

That is, if you’re a honest user.īut after that, I think you SHOULD be able to re-install the software you have, in a stand-alone situation. You get software with a new (pre-built) PC, you run Free software like Linux/*BSD, or you go out and buy something. That Windows XP needs to ‘call home’ is one of the (many) reasons I never used it. apt-get, apt-rmp, or urpmi, or whatever your distro’s equivalent, at least big brother is not preventing you from freely upgrading your system. It would be quite ironic if they were all exploited in unison to DDoS M$ servers. What a beautiful sight that will be thousands upon thousands of illegal copies of windoes unable to get the latest security updates. Makes me chuckle thinking they’re going to somehow lock down windows update. You gotta figure a keygren of this can be reverse-engineered much in the same manner Norton’s “phone challenge” piracy measure has been hurdled. For honest Joe Customer it means a the headache of having to wait on hold until some M$ phone jockey gives you the magic key to unlock your version of windows. The hackers will always find a way around these so called security measures. I cann see that happening again if Microsoft forces every version of XP or Longhorn to require activation. I remember when XP was in the beta stages and there was a crack to get around the activation. People who use and get hacked versions of Windows XP, at least those in the know use the “corp” version that doesn t require activation. Seems more to me like Micrsoft is punishing the honest.
