An update to Windows Activation Technologies will be fed soon to Windows 7 users.
Unlike Microsoft’s decision on Windows XP where it labeled a similar update as high-priority security update, the 7 update is optional and rated as “important.”
The update checks for over 70 “activation exploits” or “cracks.” It include checks for the “RemoveWAT” and “Chew-WGA” cracks that surfaced weeks after the launch of the operating system.
Machines running with cracked copies will begin to display a background colored black according to the article at Computerworld.
