We Knew It Was Coming – Microsoft to Disable Suspected Pirated Copies of Vista

(Image used under: Fair Use doctrine)

After one hour of use, a Vista machine that thinks it's illegitimate will go to a black screen with no functionality of any kind.

Remember the article about the activation servers failing and disabling thousands of computers a week or two ago? Combine that with this new policy and things should get pretty interesting. Does it seem to anyone that Microsoft is starting to go a little crazy in the head? It's like a paranoid king who starts killing off the subjects thinking they're going to turn on him.

The scary thing (if I hadn't seen it coming) is that this "feature" was built in to Vista and just needed to be remotely activated by Microsoft. Right now it's an hour then a black screen, but I wonder how far it can go? 10 minutes then self destruction?
