Comment And food for hackers? (Score 1) 873
So Microdoft has a way to determine that an OS is pirated, and the user must pass that service when starting the system. Just what will a (re)start of all systems together in an office do for the network-traffic, even considering the fact that they will not start all together on the same second. Starting for instance New York will have its impact on the internet due to the traffic involved.
But what will happen if our friends the crackers also named hackers find a way to take over those servers, or a way better, make their own anti-piracy-server for Microsoft, which kills just any installed Vista-system by black-screening it.
I think that most comapnies do not want to be involved whit this scenario, because their success is based on the availability of their systems, both office and servers.
May be this will be the trigger to switch to an other OS, unix-based or otherwise. Maybe we get the situation where diffferent OS-es will compete for different purposes, and will the knowledge about OS be growing due to the increased freedom to market your OS, which is only be bought when it merits the sale.
