So WHAT IS / WHERE IS the supposed “work-around” for this ? I am eager to find out!Įhhhh … LOL well I was SERIOUSLY hoping that a fix / hack / workaround HAD been found, just like they found the neat lil line of javascript code to fool the Windows Genuine Advantage into letting you work the Microsoft Update site … heh …īut yeah I did try installing Gentoo 2005 once, and I got all the way up to where you put in the app-compile flag options (I forget the exact name of the variable but it was something to do with compilation flags – where you specify all the other OS/app features that you want the other apps to take into consideration when compiling) and I had tons of errors … Even BEFORE that point I had to MANUALLY install the PERL, M4 Macro, SED/AWK tarballs from the internet just to PROD Gentoo to even go further along!!! sighs … I asked questions on the official Gentoo forums but NOBODY even helped. And it will extend its ‘Windows Genuine Advantage’ programme to send alerts directly to users of pirate software, the company said yesterday.Įmail a friend-Printer Friendly 0 Recommendationsīy bobjohnsonmilw (0.67) on 21:52:35 UTCĭirect link for this comment Registered users can bookmark useful commentsĐ Replies Reply Register to Vote -1 Score: 2 Register to Vote +1 Microsoft is to enhance the product-activation programme in its Office software to make it more like that in Windows. Read similar articles Microsoft Targets Windows Pirates with Pop-Ups I am just wondering what the “Workaround” was that you found, in regards to the comment you made about this news article / post: What “workaround” ?!?! What you linked to was the Gentoo 2006 Installation Guide! Did you insert the wrong link, or were you merely trying to hint at something (ie: installing Gentoo instead of Windows)? Will Vista have cool decoder rings? or maybe we have to pick words from certain pages from the manuals? Maybe it will come with those red and green 3D glasses for the anti piracy protection. Some Level 66 SSDE thats thinks hes so fracking elite doesnt check return values To bypass the blocks on banned VLKs etc, just delete legitcheckcontrol.dll (but according to windows I have WGA installed and you are able to autoupdate as usual. I have still access to automatic updates and more. I have a banned VLK installed, I have windows genuine advantage checks installed. Windows pirates wont see this, paying consumers have to put up with MS scare tactics. They even dont have to buy chairs at google, every employee brings their own (thanks to Balmer). If you want to be a techie, go elsewhere. If you want to be a manager, go work for Microsoft. Working at Microsoft is about running around with your mid-year commitment sheet in one arm and your being “visible” in the Business Unit log book in the other. MS = ManagerSoft, there is nothing to insire technical people in MS anymore, they have lost their flare and interest from their own employees. Apple came from nowhere to be the hot product where is MS? Still hot airing Vista. They where so riding their own popularity wave that they just did not see the competition come up and bite them. Microsoft is a dying company, MS got stale. Next up OEMs will provide OneCare free for 6 or 12 months with all new purchases then once consumers are hooked, they will think they have to continue to pay to use theyre computer! After all its a Microsoft computer so we have to pay them! Scare the paying consumer with nags and put fear into them by saying they “COULD HAVE” an illegal version! Microsoft is going to the level of adware.
