TECH TIPS
Windows Piracy
Check Expands Scope!
Well, don't say we didn't warn you that the "Genuine
Windows Advantage" program that checks your version of
XP to see if it's a legitimate copy before you can
download add-ons and service packs would eventually go
from "volunteer" to mandatory. And why not? If you're
providing free updates to your product, isn't it fair to
require that those benefiting from the free updates
didn't pirate their copies of that product? The latest
change is that you'll have to validate your copy of XP
in order to download local language add-ons.
More than 5 million users have participated in the
optional piracy checks, and it's expected that sometime
this year, the check will become mandatory for all users
who want to download software from the Microsoft
Download Center. Read more about it here: Read more

Freeware: Enhanced
Paint Program
If you use the Paint
graphics program built into Microsoft's operating
systems, you have probably wished from time to time for
an enhanced version. You don't need all the fancy
features (or high price) of packages like Adobe's
PhotoShop or even Corel's less expensive but still a
little pricey PhotoPaint, but you'd like a little more
than Paint offers, and you'd like it at no cost. No
problem! Some folks at Washington State University got
permission and help from Microsoft in making a new
version of Paint, which they call Paint.NET. It will do
a lot of the things that the commercial graphics
programs do. You can even use layers. If you're looking
for a good graphics program but don't want to pay for
it,
