EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

It seems kind of odd to be talking up anti-piracy in Windows 7, when they aren't even selling it yet, but clearly Microsoft has some amendments in mind.

Looks like the first will either make those 'activation' prompts more annoying or just prevent you from putting off the decision to register the software altogether.

A few other ideas are also on the cards but I'll let the article do the rest!
