Buried in a Knowledge Base article that Microsoft published to the Web on November 14 are details of Microsofts plans to combat Office 2007 piracy via new Office Genuine Advantage lockdowns. When asked last month whether Microsoft was planning to punish alleged Office 2007 pirates by crippling the functionality of their software in the same way that Microsoft is doing with Vista via reduced-functionality mode, Microsoft officials were noncommittal. But now Microsofts intentions are clear: Just as it is doing with Vista, Microsoft plans to incorporate what basically amounts to a kill switch into Office 2007. Office 2007 users who cant or wont pass activation muster within a set time period will be moved into reduced-functionality mode, according to Microsofts Knowledge Base article. | ||
