‘Blackouts’ For Users Of Pirated Windows
Aug 27, 2008 Funny News, Gossips, IT, Malaysia
Starting Wednesday, users with pirated copies of Microsoft Corp’s Windows XP Professional operating system (OS) on machines that are Internet-capable could find their computer displays going black and with no screen icons visible.
To continue working, the user would need to reset the machine’s desktop background. Everything will return to normal. But when 60 minutes are up, the black screen will reappear and the user must go through the whole process again.
What? In Malaysia? Is it possible? Hey, all those in Malaysia using pirated Windows XP, please let me know if you have experienced the “blackout”!
