People, please know MS wants to make sure you are using only one copy of Windows™ per one computer. They stay awake at night worrying about this problem. Many people according to MS have figured out how to run boot leg copies of Windows™ and that keeps most all of their paranoid employees from sleeping well at night. You being a very honest person has nothing to do with it. Folks, they absoluty will question your intergity if you bought what you believed to be a legal copy from a store and it was not a legitamate copy to no fault of your own.

Once your new updates are installed, one of those newly downloaded Updates will protect MS by identifying any known activation exploits that may affect their MS pocket books. If any activation exploits are found, Windows™ will alert the customer(s) and will offer options for resolving the issue in many cases, by using a few simple clicks. Machines running genuine Windows v7™ software with no activation exploits will see nothing and the update will continue to run quietly and a new one will be downloaded from time to time in the background while protecting their lackafunds Company Wallet's. Yeah Buddy!

If Windows v7™ is non-genuine, the notifications built into Windows v7™ will inform the customer that Windows™ is not genuine by displaying informational dialog boxes with options for the customer to either get more information, or acquire a genuine copy of Windows v7™. The desktop wallpaper will be switched to a plain desktop (all of the customers desktop™ icons™, gadgets™, or pinned applications™ should stay in place).

Periodic reminders and a persistent desktop watermark act as further alerts to the customer to stop being a THIEF whether it's their fault on another persons fault.

It is important to know and remember that "You are the stupid Customer" who bought and uses Windows v7" will see no reduced functionality in their copy of Windows™.

Customers software applications should work as expected (IF) and that is the key word folks, (IF), any of your access to personal information is unchanged.

The Update will run periodic validations (initially every 90 days). Folks, they simply don't trust anyone now including YOU! Paranoia has become a way of life for those people in Managment at MS. During validation, Windows will download the latest signatures™ that are used to identify new activation exploits much like an anti-virus service. When tampering, disabling, or missing licensing files are discovered, the WAT Update (Whats that?)runs a check and repair weekly to ensure that the licensing files are properly repaired.

Oh, goodie, goodie, I can't wait to see what, if anything, they think they will find on my expensive copy of Windows v7 Ultimate™.

Actually all THREE of Kathie Barb's and Silly Barb's expensive Windows v7 Ultimate copies are very legal and very expensive and I can prove it. Hey, that's not the problem, it's the fact I don't like having my integrity questioned folks.

Silly Barb and Kathie Barb had to said it . . .
