New Windows 7 Update Detects Un-Genuine Activations...

The above screen-shot, is a snip of my Windows 7 Windows Update box. It's an update to detect un-genuine Windows 7 OS, by checking the serial used for activation against blacklisted serials, along with checking to see if you tampered with any files. If you read it, it shows you that it's optional. So Microsoft isn't forcing you into letting them find out if yours is genuine, or your sailing the seas as a pirate. But my question is, why is it optional?

Everyone has been introduced to the world of torrents, right? Well, those of you who know torrents well, and use them on a regular basis have probably downloaded a copy of the latest Windows OS, Windows 7. Downloading saves you time, and money, but you need a serial to use it for more then 30-Days, so that leaves you to using a serial someone posted, or a BiOS crack.

The serial method is rather simpler, and takes less time, basically a quick copy and paste. But what's the problem? Think about it, if you got a serial off the internet the other billions of users online, just might be using that same serial. If a serial is used frequently, Microsoft is most likely to get suspicious. Regardless, once a key has been identified as being used for piracy, it's blacklisted.

The BiOS method is un-detectable at the moment, it uses a OEM method of activation and Windows Genuine Advantage doesn't pick-up on it. Microsoft doesn't pay much attention to the OEM methods of activation, because they couldn't tell the difference between the genuine activations from PC manufacturers or the regular everyday pirate...

So, how does this update fix the problem? The update is a process in the back, running and checking every so often your activation key, or method, and runs it against the blacklist, list. It also checks any other Windows System Files to see if they've been tampered with or altered, and then de-activates your Windows and forces you into purchasing a key within a certain period of time, or your PC is gonna be an expensive paper weight until you purchase a key, or re-install another OS.
