| Re: Problem was fixed & cries for WGA to be eliminated are .... Thinking like this, is kinda idiotic.
How long did it take crackers to get rid of WGA? Not even a week. The only people who suffered because of this outage, are the legit users. The ones who downloaded windows, completely DRM free, didnt suffer at all.
Of course, MS shouldn't eliminate all software protection. But ones such as this, that ONLY hurt their legit users, should be gone.
Go look up whats happening with Oblivion. They put in so much protection, that they have thousands of legit users unable to play, and in 24 hours, it was available online, without rootkits, without instalation limits - Again, the only people to suffer? those who spent the money for the product.
People who pay $300 for windows, and has problems like this, when theres no reason at all too, kind of have a right to complain. Why pay $300 for crippled software, when I can spend 20 mins downloading a fully functional version, that wont break? | |

Calgary, AB | Wrong game. You're thinking Bioshock.
Oblivion's only copy protection was a CD check, which is very easily bypassed for any reason at all. | |

| The problem remains that activation systems such as this have the same blindingly obvious point of failure as the joke that is DRM. When something fails, it only negatively impacts those that have actually paid for the use of the product. Most of the people who knowingly crack said content are never going to be affected by these types of issues. | |
