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.
