Microsoft
attributed five percentage points of additional growth in Windows desktop
licence sales to OEM partners to piracy declines.
Michala Wardell, head of anti-piracy at Microsoft UK, said: “With Windows Vista,
we’re making it harder for pirates to counterfeit Windows. We’re seeing a
significant decrease in the number of Vista validation failures. This is on top
of how we’ve managed to eliminate volume activation exploits, which were a
leading source of counterfeit problems.”
