Vista phones home to check for piracy
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007
When Windows XP first came out, it only checked online once after you installed it to check the 
key for piracy reasons, if the key wasn’t valid, you were asked to purchase a legal one and the copy of XP was deactivated. Things are different now, even for XP users. Usually when Windows updates are rolled out for XP, there is a WGA update utility in there, WGA checks your windows XP key when it installs and every so often thereafter. This is nothing new but Vista takes it to an entirely new level.
The difference is that with XP it was easy to tell what it was doing, especially if it was calling home to see if it was still legitimate. VISTA.BLORGE.com » Blog Archive » Vista phones home to check for piracy
