XP: Stop Piracy with a License Key Lottery

Posted by cascadehush on September 28, 2006

Here’s an idea, Mr Gates. You can use this one for free.

Instead of smacking legitimate users with hair-brained activation schemes, why not make owning a Windows license fun. Run a lottery every week, with the winning License Key getting a $10,000 prize. (I’m talking cash here). It would raise awareness of the Windows Key; people would begin to see it as something more than just a sticker on the box.

It’s called thinking outside the square.
