Microsoft has announced that the new version of Windows can be used for up to
120 days without providing a product activation key. The Windows Secrets
newsletter published a step-by-step instruction on using a single-line command
to add an additional 90 days to the stock 30-day grace period.
What according to analysts make Windows 7 a revolution is that it is
lightweight compared to previous versions and runs faster than the prior ones,
thus posing a threat to Linux, which has long been a preferred operating system
for rejuvenating older PCs for three reasons.
Although Microsoft generally touts a 30-day time limit for users to activate
their copies of the company's operating system, a little-known command designed
for corporate administrators can be used by anyone to “reset” the countdown up
to three times. Page(s) 1
