Win 7 anti-piracy will be random and black screen strategy will be gentle

On October 1, 2009, the official version of Windows 7 was officially pre-sold in the Chinese market. On October 14, Microsoft released 13 patches, setting a new record for the number of patches released on a single day, including several patches. Affects Windows 7. 34 security bugs were fixed and the risk of most security bugs was rated as “critical”. The affected products included IE, Media Player, Outlook, Silverlight, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and not yet officially released. Windows 7.

But for most Microsoft users or "non-" Microsoft users, the black screen and anti-piracy strategy may be more concerned than the patch delivery. According to Microsoft, Amazon, New Eggnet and 8848 also launched online pre-sales of Windows 7 retail full-package products. This move also made pirates and hackers very active, and a contest between piracy and anti-piracy entered a climax. The results show that the proportion of Windows 7 in pirated operating systems has exceeded 1/3, and pirated Windows 7 on e-commerce websites such as Taobao is more than half.

"Windows 7 activation technology is built into the operating system and can be updated like anti-virus software, so it can be randomly changed according to new piracy measures in the market." According to Wei Qing (Microsoft) According to the introduction of the general manager of the Consumer and Online Marketing Department, the activation technology of Windows 7 is completely different from the activation of the XP era through the upgrade patch. The activation technology of Windows 7 is like a cell and will always exist in Windows 7. This also means that when a piracy scam model becomes common, this technology can be identified and make piracy more difficult.

According to Wei Qing's description, the black screen is actually a lot softer. "For example, Windows 7 will prompt the user. If you don't activate it, your computer will not be able to continue using it after 30 days. The whole process is quite user-friendly. During the prompting process, the system will tell the user that if it is genuine, it can be activated." Br>

"Piracy users' computers will have some unknown vulnerabilities, and consumers are likely to become 'broilers' without knowing it." This is why Microsoft wants to "repeatedly" alert pirate consumers in the system. s reason.

From the deep cooperation with the domestic PC giant, in the laptop pre-installed genuine operating system to the price reduction strategy after the listing of Vista in 2006, and then to use legal means to combat the tomato garden, XP black screen warning, until now Windows 7 Anti-piracy activation technology, Microsoft's anti-piracy tricks are getting more and more rules.

In order to allow more users to use the genuine operating system at a lower price, after the listing of Windows 7, the home regular version is priced at 399 yuan, and the advanced version is 699 yuan. This is 20% less than Vista's, and is by far the lowest in the world.

Microsoft anti-piracy notice is as follows:

Remind daily from day 4 to day 26;

reminds every 4 hours from day 27 to day 29;

reminds every hour on day 30;

After 30 days, the background of the inactive user's desktop will turn solid black. After changing the background of the desktop, the user will change back to pure black every 60 minutes, and a permanent reminder will appear in the lower right corner of the computer.
