If You Dislike Microsoft's Windows Antipiracy Checks, Look Out (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127678/article.html)
If you don't like the mandatory antipiracy checks that Microsoft now enforces for Windows, brace yourself. The Microsoft Office productivity and collaboration suite is about to get a similar program.
The company's Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) program will require mandatory validation of Office software starting October 27, the software vendor quietly disclosed today. After that date, any Office Online templates downloaded from within the Office 2007 Microsoft Office System applications will require validation of legitimacy.
Similarly, starting in January, users of Office Update will have to validate the legitimacy of their Office software before they can use the service, Microsoft added.
Wishful thinking on my part, but I hope that OOo starts to gain some serious ground as part of a backlash against this. Then again people will keep using Office with a cracked validation. Discuss.
