Chinese surfers fury over Microsoft @!#$%@#

Chinese Internet users have expressed fury at Microsoft's launch of an anti-piracy tool targeting computer users to ensure they buy genuine software.

The "Windows Genuine Advantage" program, which turns the user's screen black if the installed software fails a validation test, is Microsoft's latest weapon in its war on piracy in China, where the vast majority of 200 million computer users are believed to be using counterfeit software.

While most of the people argue that Microsoft should have violating people's rights by trespassing into their computer a few of the lawyers termed Microsoft as the biggest hacker in China with its intrusion into users' computer systems without their agreement or any judicial authority.
