| 821229 | 2009-10-16 10:12:00 | Anyone planning to go down to their local DSE on the 22nd October at midnight for the Windows 7 launch?? | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 821230 | 2009-10-16 10:16:00 | Unless theyre planning on giving out free copies no :p | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 821231 | 2009-10-16 10:27:00 | But the nice man at my favourite computer shop is going to give me a free copy. :D OK, I gave him some money last week, but not as much as I would have to give him next week. Nope, it's not a toaster shop (although they have some apples in a corner). From blogs.msdn.com Somebody has posted :- Monday, June 29, 2009 10:09 AM by ioniancat21 # re: Activating Windows 7 I remember writing about Vista and piracy years ago here and how the Genuine Advantage program is a complete waste of time for the paying customer and a failure in the sense that Microsoft has never stopped piracy using any of it's stupid activation methods, which only waste the time of the paying customer. With Windows 7 on the horizon expect more hoops for us paying customers to jump through as well as piraters cracking past Windows 7 within 48 hours of it's launch. I can tell you guys over hear at the blog like I told you years ago; Genuine Advantage is a failure, will always be a failure and will never cease to be nothing but a falure. To see Microsoft employees wasting their time trying to stop piraters who are technically more skilled than most Microsoft employees who create the Activation methods that only us paying customers have been wasting our time with. I wish to God Microsoft would finally get the picture that piracy of any of their products is entirely impossible to stop. In close, just so we're all on the same page, expect that your next round of security checks will fail and be easily crushed with only paying customers harassed by your methods so waste your time as usual developing your Genuine Advantage garbage and I'll be back after the launch to observe you all here licking your wounds while you plan your next round of security checkpoints that don't work, have never worked and will never work. It's time to throw in the towel and bury the Genuine Advantage program like the rotting corpse that it is. Trust me when I say your already done on Windows 7 and you don't even know it..... |

| 821233 | 2009-10-16 19:19:00 | Pity October 21 is a Wednesday/22nd a Thursday, then I'd stay up for its launch. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 821234 | 2009-10-16 19:23:00 | Yeah it was a joke, Win7's activation has been bypassed for ages now, even on the Final RTM release. Even when installing things such as Security Essentials, the installer thinks it's installing on a 100% legit & activated copy, when its not ... Anyways, are they giving away free copies? I know a few people who might be interested in waiting in line for them ... |
