Windows Probably one of the most hated parts of Windows are its anti-piracy measures - product activation and Windows Genuine Advantage. While most people acknowledge Microsoft's right to implement these measures, many have also been bitten by the measures' shortcomings, such as server outages or false positives. Microsoft blogger Ed Bott has been monitoring WGA since its inception, and in 2006 and 2007 he didn't give a passing grade to WGA ("a big fat F"). This year, the situation has improved somewhat, earning Microsoft a passing grade - barely.

Microsoft and Adobe do not have the luxury of making money off real things.


What about Microsoft branded keyboards, mice, joysticks, gamepads, and of course, let us not forget the X-Box and X-Box 360. And how could we forget about the Zune?
