DRM bites again: the Microsoft
Windows Genuine Advantage servers (which every XP and Vista install
phones home to) all failed sometime earlier today.
The result? Every single Windows XP and Vista
installation -- except possibly those with volume license keys -- is
being marked as counterfeit when it tries to check in. Installations
which are flagged as counterfeit switch to a "reduced functionality
mode" which results in features like Aero and DirectX being disabled.
Ha Ha.
