Wired has confirmed that this “email” is indeed a hoax and that MS has not changed any of the AntiPiracy features of Vista. The Reduced Functionality Mode is as it has always been. See here –> “http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925582″ .Lets try not to spread the FUD guys…

hahaha!! they have been trying to implement a process since XP started and all were epic failures, this will be as well, if any thing it just means that MORE legitimate users will get reduced functionality due too crappy verification methods, in turn pissing those users off and turning them on to other OS’s..Go Microsoft!!..remember folks even ubuntu can pass the WGA tests

Ya know, Blue Screen of Death just sounds better and, although infuriating, it looks like it would be better to look at than the “black screen of death”

So much energy spent on keeping people from using there products when they should work on making them worthy of using in the first place. They crash enough unintentionally without this feature.

but hey why complain if you don’t have a solution.. oh wait I do.. thats why I use Ubuntu Linux which is completely free and runs great.

This from the company that just got away with major patent infringement by sending a master disc containing infringing software overseas instead of producing the consumer products here in the U.S.

I guess anyone who gets caught can just say, “I learned it from watching you.”

We heard about this at the Microsoft/AMD Tech Tour and they are getting pretty serious about this.

But it will keep the pirates away, for a bit.
