WGA strikes Vista, Office 2007
Wednesday, September 27th, 2006
Microsoft’s Windows Genuine Advantage anti-piracy program was an add-on to Windows XP, Office
2003, and earlier versions of both programs. But the Genuine Advantage code is baked into Windows Vista and Office 2007, as I learned earlier today.
Over the weekend, one of my test copies of Windows Vista RC1, downloaded from Microsoft’s servers and installed in a virtual machine with a legitimate product key, began behaving strangely. The new Windows Vista Welcome Center wouldn’t open. Control Panel wouldn’t display any icons. I couldn’t reach Windows Update. I couldn’t check the Windows Activation module to confirm that this copy of Windows Vista had been properly activated.
