Microsoft Statement: More Information on Windows Vista Software Protection Policies | |
|
||
| Time: 14:10 EST/19:10 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Software piracy is an ever-evolving threat that affects unsuspecting computer users and the software business. With many users now thinking about updating their PC with a new Windows Vista operating system or buying a new PC with Windows Vista pre-installed, it’s now more important than ever to understand the value of genuine software. Non-genuine software can include altered code from the Internet, malware, spyware and other dangerous threats. Software pirates create authentic-looking copies of the software, and distribute or sell them on the Internet, in stores and on the streets. As Microsoft looks forward to general availability of its Windows Vista operating system at the end of January, it wants to reiterate its policy on system file tampering, counterfeiting and licensing workarounds, and let users know what response they can expect from Microsoft both during this pre-launch period, and afterwards. | ||
