微软澄清Vista不存在死亡黑屏

澳大利亚PC World发布了据说是来自微软代表分发给Vista OEM的邮件,邮件中称运行盗版Vista会出现屏幕全黑而不可用的状况 。从而,让人们联想到微软对盗版用户下了"黑"手 。但是,很快微软澄清说这种说法并不准确,微软并未增强盗版打击力度 。
这封邮件的标题很夸张: "Pirated Vista - A darkness descends",原文如下:
Good Afternoon, As of this week, Microsoft have activated a function in Vista called "Reduced Functionality". This is a specific function in Vista which effectively disables non genuine copIEs of Windows. Therefore, anyone who has a pirated copy of Vista will experience:
【微软澄清Vista不存在死亡黑屏】A black screen after 1 hour of browsing
No start menu or task bar
No desktop
Please communicate this anti-piracy initiative from Microsoft to your resellers - note this function has only just been activated in Vista worldwide and therefore any issues with non genuine versions will start to arise from now onwards. (wired.com)
微软早在今年3月就发布了有关Vista缩减模式的说明:Windows Vista 中的缩减功能模式的行为,详细描述了正版及盗版Vista进入缩减模式后的不同表现 。其中的确提到了用户可以运行Vista一个小时的说法,但并未提及黑屏一事 。有意思的是,有人将黑屏一事做成了Flash演示,有兴趣的可以自己试试看 。
