Strong popular Microsoft Anti-Piracy available for Linux?

Microsoft has released its new operating system Windows Vista, either late this year or early next year. When the new operating system as successful as other offerings from Microsoft?

Microsoft’s own greed could end the reign of Windows desktop operating system priority. To combat piracy, Microsoft has its activation in Windows XP. The activation should provide a copy of XP can be used on a PC. Hackers easily created versions of Windows that have prevented the activation. In the fall of 2004, Microsoft Windows Genuine Advantage. This program was created to review Microsoft’s PCs, whether they run a real XP or XP pirated version. At first it was voluntary. Then last summer, Microsoft has made it imperative to free Download software from Microsoft. Now it has become necessary to obtain security patches XP. If your PC does not and you have the test seems to be a hard disk installation of a breach of the real (including holographic emblem similar to how the genuine copies of Windows), Microsoft will send you a disc genuine free exchange of counterfeit CD. Otherwise, make your Windows genuine need, you are either a genuine copy of Windows XP or use an offer from Microsoft cares to give you.

With the advent of the “Windows Genuine Advantage” campaign, Microsoft is the personification of a typical, greedy Alien “Corporate”. As Linux distributions get better and better, should be careful how it treats its users with Microsoft. They seem to believe that their software is so good is that to change the people to pay, rather than.

Microsoft Licensing always necessary, it must be legal to buy a license for Windows or DOS operating system for each PC you own. But since the time of early DOS to Windows 2000, someone could buy an operating system and distribute to family, friends and neighbors. While on Windows 98 Second Edition liquidation of ten or more PCs.

Linux, on the other hand, allows the law to install at every computer you have. So, putting Linux in ten or more computers is not only legal but desirable, as a form of advertising for the operating system. But Windows users have done the same all these years. You have to spend in advertising around Windows. It is not legal nor tolerated by Microsoft, but the piracy of Windows is a form of advertising that actually helped to promote Windows and ensure its growth. As you can see, all these acts of rampant piracy has not become Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is no longer one of the richest men in the world.

It’s another thing to consider when you think of hackers operating system. If you are a company with thousands of computers, you will receive a special offer for Windows licenses. If you are a major PC manufacturer Hewlett-Packard, you will receive a discount on the OEM versions of Windows. But if you save a small computer, and you build clone five PCs per month, you would have to pay the price for the typical user of the Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications. (For XP, there is a hundred dollars for the Home Edition and hundred-fifty dollars for professional publishing.) It is to remain for an individual and in competition with the big guys hard, and piracy system operation can be a way to update the field. These hackers can be regarded as a true go “for the working class.”

There are several Linux distributions that are as good or better than anything Microsoft has to offer. But people still cling on to Windows, because they do not really want to move something new and to learn Linux would require a small learning curve. Microsoft has probably already have agreements with PC manufacturers to install Vista on his computer almost all the major brands in the U.S. closed when it comes out. To be fair to all, everyone should come without a PC operating system. If someone tells them the PC operating system as well and the business, then install it. Imagine if the people the choice: “Fedora Core 4: Free” or “Windows Vista Business: $ 200.00 had.” I wonder if they still choose Windows?

Microsoft could, in fact, the Windows operating system for the next hundred years. All they have to do is run Vista when it comes out. Such as Linux would not support the free version or a warranty. You do not even open source (reveal their internal code), just make it open source. They could still earn money by a highly secure, highly twisted, fully supports the corporate version of Vista and sell to larger companies that can afford it. This is what companies like Red Hat Linux and Novell to do. If Vista was free to stop the pirates would be to make money, Microsoft could require millions by eliminating the “Orwellian” surveillance to determine whether Windows is authentic, save, and Linux is no longer a major threat. Unfortunately, most foreign companies not to search for the dollar sign.

Microsoft will likely hold on to the “Windows Genuine Advantage” program and try to thwart all attempts hacking. Although hackers able to execute arbitrary code with Microsoft will have to deal, they will eventually angry strange little game with the giant company. Then, pirated copies of Vista are difficult to obtain. This will benefit the advertising of unchecked piracy that Microsoft enjoyed in recent years at the end. Windows Vista starts to lose market share and in 10 years a large distribution of Linux is the operating system office. If triumphs Linux, Microsoft Office, Open Office be replaced, and Microsoft’s stranglehold will be broken on the PC at last.

If you like Microsoft and want to keep him in power, encourage them to speak freely operating system Vista. At least, they suggest that the decline “annoying Windows Genuine Advantage” program.
