Microsoft is bringing some new strategies to track out the hackers who are using cheat activation codes for using Microsoft Windows 7. It has been notified that Microsoft will soon give a new update to the Windows 7 users that will detect the illegal copies installed on the system and over 70 different activation cracks will be used for this purpose.
The update of Windows Activation Technologies (WAT) is named as Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) and this will be provided on the official website of the company on Feb 17 and the status of this one will be an optional upgrade which will come via Windows update later this month.

The profit in the net income is $6.66 billion which is about 60 % from the same period a year after. The results which have been revealed are even far above the expert’s expectations and it is really the best ever success earned by any product of Microsoft.
Along with Windows 7 the company also released Windows server 2008 R2 which also enjoyed a very modest increase with $3.8 billion in revenue, up from $3.75 in the previous year. According to the official reports almost 60 million licenses were sold in this quarter which is just more than extra ordinary.

One of the partner group managers of Microsoft Simon Aldous said in an online interview that they were very much interested in the Apple OS X operating system while designing windows 7.

Microsoft has strongly opposed this quote in their recent blog and claims that the “inaccurate quote” came from the Microsoft employee who was not even involved in the designing of windows 7. And they were really feeling bad that their own member had given such a lame quote.

The software maker says that it will no more sell its all-in-one security and PC management service from the end of June 2009.
