the corporate line for microsoft doesn't float. "we want to tell people that they don't have an authentic product". well you can accomplish that without disabling the fake with a simple notification.
the public outrage _is_ a little absurd, however. it's as if they don't understand the piracy epidemic.
i'd say it's a failure on both sides to think rationally
- ram1024 18y agooooh it turns out that the outrage is completely and utterly unfounded. microsoft doesn't disable anything, they just turn your desktop background black every hour. an annoyance AT BEST. the angry chinese mobs were citing loss of data and stuff, which is offbase. wish the media wouldn't report the ravings of lunatics as legitimate complaints.
