Microsoft created by Gates is a "product driver" software company. Since 2000, Since the "Chief Software Architect" of Microsoft since 2000, Microsoft puts forward the safety and engage in a new generation of operating systems, and has been 5 to 6 years since it is. During the 5 years, Microsoft organized nearly 10,000 excellent programming staff, which took billions of dollars, and finally got "Windows Vista" (not "Winvista"), scheduled to be officially released in January 2007. According to Microsoft, WinVista's source code is as high as 50 million, 8 times larger than the Linux kernel, and should be considered a great intelligence creation result of today's all mankind. Compared with Microsoft Office, a set of $ 399, Winvista has a set price of $ 450 independent. On June 4th, the US NEOWIN.NET website conducted a network "public opinion" survey, and found that Winvista priced $ 450 is really too expensive. In the middle of the survey, 442 people think that Winvista is priced at $ 299, and the other 861 people think that "to buy $ 10 (pirated) Winvista" is a good idea. This shows that there are about 2/3 people in the United States, think that Winvista is really too expensive and has moved the use of "pirated". 30 years ago, Gats thought that the software could not piracy, and must be purchased with money. It is the concept of Gates and created a modern software industry. Nowadays, Microsoft has been more than 5 years, spent billion dollars to develop Winvista, how can I not sell a good price? Today, Microsoft Winvista has finally come out, however, Gates announced that it is necessary to "pay off", leaving Microsoft's daily business, to engage in his charity. What is this reason? On June 16th, the Forrester Research company George Colony believed that "in the era of software, Gats is undoubtedly a leader, his products have gain a huge profit; but in the software free era, he may not understand how to participate in competition." Gates had to give his masterpiece to his successor "Change (Gold)".
For Microsoft, Winvista is indeed a "treasure". Microsoft has developed a secret weapon: WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) program for Winvista's profts: WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) program. On June 5, Microsoft's WGA program was found by Lauren Weinstein to find its behavior performance like "spyware". On June 16, Microsoft's WGA program was further demonstrated by Brian Livingston in "Genuine Advantage IS Microsoft Spyware". After tight facts, the WGA program is clearly accused "Spy" (see the original text). For WGA programs, it usually deletes it with manual manual, it will also generate it. The WGA program (real as "spy") is not only to "small report" to Microsoft headquarters, but also accept the corresponding "small action" in the command of Microsoft Headquarters. In order to "swear to defend" WinVista is not pirated, Microsoft will never take the initiative to give up its "WGA Program" in accordance with the 2.3 Terms of EULA (End User License Agreement).
Now, Gates will pay off, Winvista is going to be available, and now a WGA program is accused of "Spy", it is really a fattest. Microsoft how to face this, people will wait and see.
