The wide availability of Windows 7, be it from official Microsoft channels (the Beta Build 7000), or through various illegal third-parties (the pre-Release Candidate builds), has managed to encourage schemes to turn over a profit from the bits offered for free by the Redmond company.

What is the first thing you should do after buying Windows Vista? Take high resolution pictures of the newly acquired product and post it on the Internet so that anyone could see. Right? Wrong!

screenshot. The screenshot is just the Windows 7 Desktop but the build string is clearly visible - 7068.winmain.090321-1322 - which means that this
build 7068 was compiled on March 21, 2009. It was also rumored earlier that Windows 7 build 7068 is released on Microsoft Connect to a select group
of testers. WinFuture reports that this build might have been released to the Windows 7 TAP Customers, who get involved closely with Microsoft in beta

08.09.2006Viewing Your MSDN Product Keys Off-Line
Richard Macdonald: If you have an MSDN subscription, then you'll know that the subscription includes a set of product keys for use with the versions
of Office, Windows, etc that your subscription gives you access to. The keys can be viewed on-line at the MSDN subscriber site, but this isn't great
if you don't have any network access, and even then it's not all that convenient to have to log on each time to get a key.
Now,
there is an option to export your keys to an XML file, which means you can have them available off-line. However, XML isn't the most user-friendly
format...

11.02.2009Microsoft to Remedy ‘Family Discount' Tragedy
It looks like Microsoft is
ready to settle the score with
customers who took advantage
of the Vista Family Discount
offer earlier this week. As
reported on Wednesday, anyone
who purchased Windows Vista
Home Premium using the keys
provided by Microsoft's Vista
Family Discount was unable to
use the keys. Windows Vista
reported them as invalid.
Microsoft still will
not tell me what the keys are
for, however as promised I did
get a call back today. I was
told by Microsoft, "We do not
know how these false keys
where issued, but we do know
the solution." What is
Microsoft's solution?
Anyone who took
advantage of the Windows Vista
Family Discount should be on
the lookout. Microsoft will be
emailing those customers new
product keys for Windows Vista
Home Premium within the next
3-5 days. The new product keys
should work without a hitch.

you have the download, keys will still be available.
This cutoff date does not include MSDN and Technet subscribers; the beta along with
the keys will be available throughout the entire testing phase.
The expiration date for the beta is
August 1, 2009 with an RC release to selected testers scheduled for before that

Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 7, is set to officially launch and become generally available to the public on October 22. Some custom

Some smaller system builders have been told by Microsoft that they can start selling PCs pre-loaded with Windows 7 as soon as they receive the product
keys, TechFlash reports. The product keys - used to activate the operating system - are expected to be distributed to these system builders as soon as
October 13, over a week before the official release of Windows 7.

25.09.2009No more digital product keys for Windows Anytime Upgrade users
Microsoft is making a tweak to the way it will enable Windows Vista users to upgrade to higher-end versions of Windows via its
“Windows Anytime Upgrade”
program.
Windows Anytime Upgrade is a program was a Vista marketing program via which Microsoft has allowed customers to move
from lower-cost, less feature-rich
versions of Vista to higher-end versions.
Starting February 20, Microsoft is planning to end distribution of digital product
keys, company officials said on February 7. Instead, customers will need to obtain a Windows Anytime Upgrade kit, consisting of a Windows DVD and
product keys, either directly from Microsoft, via snail-mail, or in person via a Microsoft retailer. Anytime Upgraders still can order the upgrade kit
online, but the key will be sent by snail-mail.)

07.02.2008Vista 'Family Discount' Bites Back
In the past, early adopters of
new Windows versions have had
some small hurdles to
overcome. Such hurdles may be
software incompatibility, or
lack of driver support. These
sorts of things are almost
expected with each new Windows
launch. But what would you do
if you bought Windows Vista
and your product key didn't
work? What if Microsoft had
no solution and was unwilling
to issue you a new key?
Many (if not all)
users who took advantage of
Microsoft's Vista Family
Discount have been issued
invalid installation keys and
cannot install Windows Vista
Home Premium. Microsoft
confirms that the keys are
indeed valid, but not for
Windows Vista. The CSR I spoke
with was unable to tell what
the key was for, but it did
appear to be a valid key, for
something.
Microsoft says, "This is a
known issue and has been
escalated to the program
manager." When asked what
could be done I was told, "I
can take your name and number
and call you back when there
is a solution. If that is not
acceptable, I can cancel your
order and issue you a
refund." I was also told,
"There is no expected time
period for a fix at this
time."
If
Microsoft does not have this
issue fixed very soon, they
are going to have a lot of
unhappy customers. In the past
Microsoft has just issued new
keys when this happened. Why
is Microsoft being so tight
gripped about handing out new
keys? If I purchased a valid
key, what is it for? How long
is this going to take to fix?
So many questions, so little
answers.

31.01.2007Latest AACS revision defeated a week before release
Despite the best
efforts of the Advanced Access
Content System (AACS)
Licensing Administration (AACS
LA), content pirates remain
one step ahead. A new volume
key used by high-def films
scheduled for release next
week has already been cracked.
The previous AACS volume key
was invalidated by AACS LA
after it was exposed and
broadly disseminated earlier
this month.
The latest beta release of
SlySoft's AnyDVD HD program
can
http://forum.slysoft.com/showt
hread.php?t=4214&page=3>appare
ntly be used to rip HD DVD
discs that use AACS version 3.
Although these won't hit
store shelves until the May
22, pirates have already
successfully tested SlySoft's
program with early release
previews of the Matrix
trilogy.
AACS LA's
attempts to stifle
dissemination of AACS keys and
prevent hackers from
compromising new keys are
obviously meeting with
extremely limited success. The
hacker collective continues to
adapt to AACS revisions and is
demonstrating a capacity to
assimilate new volume keys at
a rate which truly reveals the
futility of resistance. If
keys can be compromised before
HD DVDs bearing those keys are
even released into the wild,
one has to question the
viability of the entire key
revocation model...

14.02.2007Windows Vista Enterprise Edition appears on Select
Microsoft appears to have
published Office 2007 and

customers.
Along
with the keys is a download
entitled "Windows Vista

MVL ISO CD". It's not quite
clear what this is but since
the download is 2641MB you can
only assume it's Windows

currently awaiting a response
from Microsoft and will update
shortly.

have now pulled the download
but the keys remain. Updated

03.11.2006Linux under attack: compromised SSH keys lead to rootkit
The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) has issued a warning for what it calls “active attacks” against Linux-based computing
infrastructures using compromised SSH keys.
The attack appears to initially use stolen SSH keys to gain access to a system, and then uses
local kernel exploits to gain root access. Once root access has been obtained, a rootkit known as “phalanx2″ is installed, US-CERT said in
a note on its current activity site.
Phalanx2 appears to be a derivative of an older rootkit named “phalanx”. Phalanx2 and the
support scripts within the rootkit, are configured to systematically steal SSH keys from the compromised system. These SSH keys are sent to the
attackers, who then use them to try to compromise other sites and other systems of interest at the attacked site.
Phalanx, which dates
back to 2005, is a self-injecting kernel rootkit designed for the Linux 2.6 branch. It allows an attacker to hide files, processes and sockets and
includes a tty sniffer, a tty connectback-backdoor, and auto injection on boot.

28.08.2008Dial Keys Gen 2 - FREE beta
Tina Wood:
DialKeys Gen2 provides Windows XP and Windows Vista touch, thumb and pen devices
with an interface for text input, 2 clicks email, Geo Tagged pictures snapping, instant access to location services, and many more features. I
couldn't resist sitting down, or standing up with
Dial Keys to get the skinny on their newest version. Some
new additions and features include the Picture Snapper Features: it transforms your UMPC into a portable camera powerhouse that has the capability of
time and GPS, tagging your photos and directly paste it into an open application in three clicks. Take pictures and paste them directly into Documents
(e.g. Live Writer, Word, ¦) Snap pictures and upload them automatically to web or ftp sites. Time and GPS stamps if enabled, are embedded in the
snapped pictures. This allows you to easily organize the photos on maps or on time lines, a feature travelers and surveyors are keen on.
And like I said earlier
Dial Keys Gen 2 works on XP. Not that any of you aren't running Vista but
just in case you know somebody who knows somebody's cousin who has an ex-boyfriend who met Hillary Clinton once that's still running XP. Just
saying, it works on XP too.

29.01.2008Windows 7 Release Candidate goes public... Oops
Tired of waiting for Microsoft to release the first (and likely only) release candidate of Windows 7? No worries, you can go and snatch it up now...
via torrents. Earlier today, build 7100 of Windows 7, the official Release Candidate build, leaked to the public.
While no new visual
elements stand out from previous builds, UI changes should no longer be expected this late in the game. Any changes from this point on will be, for
the most part, behind the scenes. One notable change however is Microsoft's decision to revert back to the previous active tile design for the
taskbar, as found in build 7068, as it no longer features the white hazy glow behind the icon.
The official release date of Windows 7 RC
is expected to be May 5th for the public, and slightly earlier for TechNet and MSDN subscribers.
Have you found anything new in this
build? Share it with us in our community forums...
Update: Microsoft now says the RC will be available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers on
April 30th.
