Well, we all suspected it was coming - and we were right. The verification program that began as a voluntary one will become a requirement in mid-2005. In order to get most updates and free add-ons, users will have to prove their copies of Windows aren't pirated, via the Windows Genuine Advantage initiative (essential security patches will still be available, since unpatched systems pose a danger to other Internet users). The program is also being expanded from English language software to include twenty more languages. |

Right....and the irony is that half of those "patches" will be exploits for non-updated versions of Windows.  |
