You're damn right it's growing and that's because more and more Windoze
users are waking up and turning to Ubuntu. BUT, they've been "schooled" in
the Microsoft way of doing things and bring all their bad habits with them.
Just listen to the Wintards around here who whine about and turn off UAC.
As soon as they get on a Linux box, the first thing they want is root
access to everything, just like they had Administrator access to everything
under XP. Don't blame Ubuntu, blame Microsoft that not only took some time
to discover the Internet existed and might be a useful tool, but has yet to
come out with a secure operating system worthy of connecting to the Net.
And don't forget, that thanks to 100 million compromised Windoze boxes out
there, the Internet is becoming overwhelmed with spam, spread by these
compromised Windoze boxes.

Cheers.

Not true. The Update Manager only updates those apps that come from the main
repositories at Ubuntu. Universe and multiverse and all other repos are NOT
automatically updated by Ubuntu's Update Manager.

It's fun to watch you say something stupid, repeat it over and over
and now here you are trying to wiggle out of what you originally
claimed.

The whole activation scam is bogus in that Microsoft has admitted they
know it doesn't defeat hackers or stop pirates. So what's the point?
Bill Gates is further on record nodding his approval for untold
millions of Chinese to fine with him, go right ahead and steal
Windows. Maybe someday you'll buy it. Yet untold millions of PAYING
customers are forced to repeatedly jump through loops to re verify
they paid for their copy of Windows all because the may have upgraded
their system. If such a practice isn't calling Microsoft customers at
least suspected thieves, then they need to redefine what the word
means.

Microsoft knows Joe six pack is too dumb to defeat their cheesy
activation scheme so they willing squeeze him to make up for others
outright stealing copies of Windows and with the founder of
Microsoft's blessing. How can anyone defends such loony practices?

Your ignorance is showing again. I happen to have a lot of software
that requires activation. So for every simpleton like you that don't
mind jumping through hoops to activate, there are many others that
need to do it multiple times for all their software which can be a
royal pain the ass.

Yes, I do understand how activation is keyed. (Unfortunately the
whitepaper was written for XP and I was unable to find one for the Vista
version of WGA.)

Regardless of that, I can't see it being much different in Vista, since
the same thing was happening with XP.

The key there is *significantly*, which is understood, but I'm not
talking about significantly, maybe even just out of the blue.

If you've read this paper, AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE SCENARIOS MS PUTS
FORTH, you would wonder why most people would ever have to activate more
than one time.

Casual piracy, that's a Microsoft term. By their definition, people just
copying software and giving it to friends. I believe that is barely a
problem at all. Binary Usenet is the absolute biggest source of pirated
software, and if there is 'casual' piracy going on, it's giving friends
copies of software d/l'd from Usenet in the first place.

Hehe, all these posts by so called IT Pros claiming that activation is
not a pain in the ass demonstrates that they are IT Pros only in their
own minds

The reality is that stopping "Casual" piracy achieves nothing because
anybody doing it "Casually" isn't going to buy a couple of hundred
dollars worth of CD anyway, they may lash out on a cracked version,
stick to what they have until the hardware falls over or get the latest
version of Linux for nothing Casual pirates will not buy Office or
other products that pro users may need so MS's alleged losses are really
wildly exaggerated.
