Microsoft cracking down on Vista cracks

According to Computer World, Microsoft Corp. will feed users of Windows Vista with an update next week in order to target pirated copies with cracks that the company will bust when it released Service Pack 1 (SP1), in mid-March.

The announcement of the upgrade, which will take place through Windows Update (WU) and will be automatically installed on most Vista machines, detect two commonly used cracks which activate pirated copies of the operating system. The cracks bypasses Vista’s detection technology incorporated in the software and circumvents it by the activation of fake products as a legitimate installation.

One of the cracks, “Grace timer”, works by extending the actual activation grace period until the year 2099. The other crack, named as OEM BIOS, modifies the file system as well as the PC BIOS to simulate activation of the product as is done by computer-maker in the factory.

Both will be blocked by Vista SP1, the main update by WU, which will be offered as an optional download by mid-March and will download and install automatically next month.

This blog focuses on the issue of the Semantic Web and its impact on the internet today, especially the World Wide Web. According to Wikipedia:

The Semantic Web is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web in which the meaning of information and services on the web is defined, and in which the web to an increasing degree can understand and satisfy the requests of people and machines attempting to use the web content. It derives from W3C director Tim Berners-Lee’s vision of the Web as a universal medium for data, information, and knowledge exchange.

In other words, we aim to focus on this emerging technology which acts as an evolving extension of the WWW and defines the meaning of information and services to a degree in which it can satisfy the requests of people and machines which attempts to use the content derived from the web. We will also update you with the latest computer technologies information in this blog.
