But that's an RC1 key. You can't use it on RTM. You had to replace files with RC2 files to activate no? This is exactly what Microsoft is tracking. Turn off Automatic Updates if you wanna use it for a while.

But, you know me ;)

I just ran Windows Update and I'm at least safe for now. Check the updated time.

Ok ok. But I wouldn't do that. I will go ahead with it turned on as long as I can, so that I get the security updates and bugfixes.

The software maker said Thursday that the update is aimed at thwarting a technique that was letting some people use pirated versions of the operating system without going through the software's built-in product activation. Microsoft has dubbed the approach "frankenbuild" because it works by combining test versions of Vista with the final code to create a hybrid version.


"Windows Vista will use the new Windows Update client to require only the 'frankenbuild' systems to go through a genuine validation check," Microsoft said on its Windows Genuine Advantage program blog. "These systems will fail that check because we have blocked the (product) keys for systems not authorized to use them."

Although Vista was only released to businesses last month--and won't hit retail shelves until late January--it has been making the rounds on the Internet, and there have been several reported hacks to bypass its built-in security mechanisms.

A second known issue, Microsoft said, involves using virtualization technology in conjunction with the mechanism Microsoft uses to allow large businesses to activate multiple copies of Vista.

"Piracy is evolving and has made the expected jump from Windows XP to Windows Vista," David Lazar, director of Genuine Windows, told CNET News.com. "We are already starting to see some workarounds to the Vista licensing requirements."

In a statement, the software company said it hoped the actions would help discourage people from trying to bypass its security mechanisms.

"Microsoft hopes that by taking this action now, we can send a message to counterfeiters and would-be counterfeiters, and help protect our legitimate customers from being victimized by further distribution of these tampered products," the company said.

Microsoft has been more aggressively targeting pirates over the past two years, including a stepped-up program for checking to make sure software is properly licensed. With Vista, software that doesn't pass such authentication will go into severely reduced functionality after 30 days. At that point, only the Web browser will work and then only for an hour at a time.

In addition to that reduced-functionality mode, users can also still boot into Windows "safe mode." That allows full access to data and applications, but offers limited screen resolution, fewer colors and prevents the use of most third-party software drivers.

While Thursday's update addresses only the "frankenbuild," Lazar said Microsoft is also working on a method to counteract the other hack, which uses virtualization and Microsoft's Key Management Service.

"The update that we are releasing today does not specifically address that, but we are working on an update that will specifically address the KMS workaround," Lazar said.

Vista represents Microsoft's strongest technical effort yet to build antipiracy features into its software. In addition to the activation requirements, some features within the operating system require the software to be validated as genuine. Those include the Windows Defender spyware fighter, Aero user interface and ReadyBoost, a technology that uses USB flash drives as added system memory.

"Vista is the hardest system to pirate that we have yet released," Lazar said.

Well, My system is "validated as genuine" :lol: (My licence expires on 6/1/2007)

Yes, but maybe that's why Microsoft released a buggy Windows version after all. Since it's buggy, you will have to use Windows Update. But if you use it, you will be deactivated. You won't be able to install SP1 when it's available. I wonder if the prices of Vista Home Premium will come down to around Rs.10,000 oneday. If so, I will buy it!!! That will solve a lot of headaches.

May be they wont let SP1 to be installed on beta systems... :(

The only thing we can afford will be the Home Premium without loosing the look and feel of Vista. :( :( :(

Balagana inta, dey 10k valat!

[Anusha]

:lol: :lol:

Why? Am I wrong?

But anyway, this is too uncertain to my liking. We are living with the thought "when will MS make us pay? when will I lose my data" etc. Damn!

The only safe but updated Windows version is Windows 2003 Server VLK because it doesn't require activation nor does it require WGA. I hope Microsoft will keep it that way.

[dpg]

Why? Am I wrong?

Oh no no! & i wasn't laughing at you machan! :) lol

I hope Microsoft will keep it that way.

:yes: :yes:

I switched to XP the same way from Windows 2000 - before XP was released.

No, no. Microsoft are sure about Vista's security. It's the antivirus makers who are not! Mostly, Symantec and McAfee. I think maybe they also know that Vista without their protection is safer than with their virus guards :lol: :lol: :lol:

Of course Microsoft wouldn't say something like that. They don't want people to panic about their flagship OS.
