Tim Sweeney, le programmeur d’Epic qui travaille sur Unreal Tech et qui parle beaucoup, vient de donner son avis à propos de Windows XP et de son système de protection: l’activation de l’OS lors de l’installation avec le hash créer suivant la configuration hardware de la machine. Ca se passe sur Voodoo Extreme et les commentaires sont aussi interessants que l’article lui même. Un extrait de la prose de Mr Sweeney:
However, their awesome work on the OS is tainted by the mandatory electronic activation process, which users universally hate and testers have been speaking up about for months. It opens up way too many concerns over privacy and users’ right to actually own and control the products they buy.
Et un des 200 commentaires:
1. No it doesn’t take your personal information.
2. You only need to do it once when you install.
3. You have 30 days to do it.
4. You don’t necessarily have to redo it if you upgrade your hardware.
5. Even if you have to redo it, it’s not that big a deal.
