Daniel F. Administrators Posted May 9, 2003 Administrators Share Posted May 9, 2003 MS turns up heat on warezed WinXP copies Friday, 7 June 2002 But a sharp-eyed reader of Neowin.net has spotted what appears to be an escalation of the role of product activation. The privacy statement now says "To provide you with the appropriate list of updates, Windows Update must collect a certain amount of configuration information from your computer. This information includes: Operating-system version number and Product Identification number... The Product Identification number is collected to confirm that you are running a validly licensed copy of Windows. A validly licensed copy of Windows ensures that you will receive on-going updates from Windows Update." http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archi...hive/25629.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
