03/31/2005 12:36 PMExpanding its measures to combat software piracy, Microsoft will
require users who want to download local language add-ons to Windows
to first validate their copy of the operating system as legitimate.
Microsoft offers versions of Windows XP in 24 languages at present. It
supports an additional 20 languages with free operating system
add-ons, called Windows XP Language Interface Packs. The add-ons do
not offer complete translations of the Windows XP user interface, but
cover many of its common features.
Over the coming months, Microsoft will require users who want to
download the add-ons to first authenticate their copy of Windows,
blocking access for users of pirated Windows copies, the company says
in a statement. The first add-on to be affected will be the Vietnamese
language interface pack, which was made available this week and
requires validation to download.

set on its nearest competitor. But it's not Linux. And sorry, Apple

Windows itself -- or rather pirated copies of the OS. ANd Microsoft is
starting to put its foot down. By Ina Fried, CNET News.com

07/12/2004 09:23 AMToday at its Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft Corp. introduced
Windows® Marketplace, an upcoming shopping and downloading site that
will provide customers with one-stop access to software, hardware and
peripherals that work with the Windows platform. This new offering
provides a cost-effective way for participating partners to work with
Microsoft and CNET Networks to gain exposure to millions of potential
customers through online shopping and electronic software distribution
-- all in one place. Windows Marketplace also will make it easy for
customers to navigate, find, try and buy thousands of compelling
products to meet their needs and enhance their Windows computing
experience. Windows Marketplace is scheduled to launch to end-user
customers in the United States this fall, but Microsoft is giving
partners an early opportunity to get their products into the
Marketplace before it becomes available publicly.
