Microsoft Blackout

Are you on a illegal Microsoft operating system?
Its time for you to watch your back now as Microsoft is stepping up its efforts to track down the pirated softwares in the market and using a new strategy to nab the pirates!
How this is done?
From now on if your software is spotted as a pirated version, your system will encounter a plain black background with pop-up window alert.Users will be able to reset the background to the original setting but every 60 minutes the computer will revert to the plain black background and the persistent notice will remain until a genuine copy of Windows is installed and validated.
Yeap its a pain in the ass till you decide to buy a original copy of the license. Cant afford the software you say ha! Now users can purchase a Window Vista Basic at RM250 and the company has also worked together with various parties to come up with ultra low-cost personal computers with Windows XP installed at less than RM80.
Alternatively you can go open source which is very easy to use with so many linux guru’s around to help you with your new experience.
