Microsoft anti-piracy tool gets new name
Microsoft has re-named its ‘Windows Genuine Advantage’ tool for the upcoming releases of Windows 7. The vendor has announced the new version of the prodct will be named ‘Windows Activation Technology’ - apparently to more accurately reflect how the technology actually works.
Microsoft claims the new version is “fundamentally different” to the original tool that was introduced as an XP add-on.
Microsoft recently announced Release Candidate 1 of Windows 7, which is now expected to ship before the end of the year.
