Looks like the wga team will have many sleepless nights


From microsoft.public.windows.vista.general Thread FYI: The Chinese has found a
way to improve KMS activation !!
----------------------
The Chinese KMS servers are still running... One of the KMS servers,
vbs.net.cn, according to the owner, has activated more than 20,000 clients in
last 30 days. "The server is always busy. A client may have to try over and
over again to get his Vista Business or Vista Enterprise activated." she said.

What's new now?
She found a better way to solve the heavy traffic problem and prevent the
activation go abroad.
"My intention is to provide free Vista to citizens in China"
"I believe that
Microsofts' policies in software piracy are being applied differently in China
and rest of the world."

Here is the update -
A Chinese user who wants to activate his Vista Enterprise or Vista Business,
should first visit the website, http://vbs.net.cn to view the current port
number of the KMS server, vbs.net.cn The port number will get changed in every
30 min automatically.

For example...
say.. 2006-12-29 23.00 - 23.29, vbs.net.cn:7301 then  2006-12-29 23.30 - 23.59,
vbs.net.cn:1465 then  2006-12-30 00.00 - 00.29, vbs.net.cn:7249 and so on...

For XP, as long as a Volume License Key doesn't leak out of the territory of
Mainland China, it's fine with Microsoft. The problem now is that the leaked
Chinese VLKs get spread all over the world, a kid in France may using a Chinese
VLK. That's what Microsoft doesn't want to see...

The coming up new version of WGA comes with a feature called "Geographically
blocked PID",
that may solve the problem, let the Chinese having a free VLK and at the same
time block them from being used in other regions.
