Validating Windows -- what's in it for me?
[by John Hogan, Managing Editor]
Microsoft is ramping up its Windows Genuine Advantage program, although who gets the advantage is debatable.
Clearly, Microsoft benefits the most from making customers validate their copies of Windows. But since Redmond is one of the biggest victims of product piracy -- unauthorized copies of Windows surely outnumber even knock-off Fendi pocketbooks -- can you blame them?
The trick is to give something to customers in return for their cooperation. For consumers and small businesses, Microsoft is offering goodies such as software "fun packs" and discounts on other products. (Several such promotions were announced this week.) For enterprise customers, the benefits are a little more elusive.

Oops! True IT Blooper #170: Oops, it did it again
Think back to when you were in second grade and life revolved around getting a gold star for bringing in your homework, being chosen as the line leader to the bathroom and seeing what kind of snack your mom packed for you -- fruit roll-ups made for a good day, carrots meant you were sitting alone. Most likely, none of your grade school memories include watching your class computer get nuked. Unless of course, you were in second
grade when this IT staff member got outsourced to a school district experiencing a shortage of techs.
