Microsoft tweaking Windows Genuine Advantage to boost anti-piracy | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||
|
Microsoft makes another anti- software piracy announcement, declaring that it will be enhancing its anti-piracy engineering, education and enforcement efforts through the expansion of the Windows Genuine Advantage program, which checks the authenticity of a user's software and provides software updates. The Windows Genuine Advantage program began as an optional pilot program available to users of English-language versions of Windows in September 2004. Microsoft has stated publicly that the program's primary purpose is to protect consumers who have inadvertently purchased counterfeit software from an inferior computing experience. The forthcoming changes announced now are not major ones, but are intended to deepen the program further, and prepared user for a shift from the voluntary opt-in system that exists today to a compulsory system that will be introduced later this year. | ||
