Nerdy Photo in Vista DVDs Thwarts Disk Pirates

maximus1 writes "Microsoft says that the tiny photo on the Windows Vista Business Edition installation disks is an anti-piracy feature. The tiny photo of three grinning men — less that 1 mm in size — is one of several images incorporated into the hologram's design intended to make it harder to replicate a Vista DVD, according to Nick White on Microsoft's Vista team blog. 'The real story is interesting, but conspiracy theorists will be disappointed to learn that it is not the result of a deliberate attempt to deceive,' White wrote."

[such negative reaction to it why pirate it?]

There isn't a lot of negative reaction to Vista. There's just some in the uber-geek, OSS community. The rest of the planet is already switching to Vista.

You know, jokes are one thing, but this is just painful. Is this what you mean when you say anyone who doesn't think like you is "against freedom"?

Actually, I said I was an advocate of freedom. I also have a sense of humor, which is something you should try. I don't know what you think, dedazo, because I've never seen you have a thought.
