Again http://www.ghacks.net/2007/10/09/windows-genuine-advantage-validation-cracked-again/ http://www.ghacks.net/2007/10/09/windows-genuine-advantage-validation-cracked-again/#comments Tue, 09 Oct 2007 06:58:39 +0000 Martin http://www.ghacks.net/2007/10/09/windows-genuine-advantage-validation-cracked-again/ I’m really curious why companies try to enforce DRM like protections into their products even though they should know that this is on a large scale only affecting the customers who actually purchase their products. This is in my opinion counter productive, but lets analyze this a little bit further.

Users who purchase Microsoft Windows have to activate and update it. Users who download it from P2P get it activated and with the latest updates installed. What’s wrong with this picture ? Oh yes, the first batch of users who actually paid for the product are having a less comfortable version.

They have to activate the system and will have to do it again if they change important hardware in the system. They have to use Windows Updates to update their system after the purchase as well.
