Instead using disable programs on user's computer, Microsoft turned to use gentler approach based on nagging alerts if it suspects the software is pirated,.The new version of Windows Genuine Advantage will be embedded with the first service pack for Windows Vista, due in the first quarter of 2008.
When computer user activate Windows Vista or try to download software from Microsoft's website, the Windows Genuine Advantage system scans the PC for signs of pirated software. If the copy of Vista is pirated, the glassy Vista user experience disappears and other features are suspended.
The desktop wallpaper will turn black and white notice will appear alerting users to the problem. As usual each time they log in, they will be prompted to buy legitimate software, and every hour. A reminder bubble will appear on the screen as well 
Besides that, Microsoft also said Monday the package of Vista updates will fix holes in the operating system that allowed pirates to create fake copies:
- the activation of software by computer makes before PC is sold
- extends given period to people who install new software, before they must activate it.
