third KMS server, 220.133.135.222: 1688 (this server created by VMware)
etc... all can be found in http://www.vistafans.com (aka
http://bbs.pcbeta.com )

Those KMS servers now run part-time irregularly and by members' request.
From the KMS threads in the forum, you can easily read that those KMS
servers actually
started service since mid Nov.

www.vistafans.com (aka http://bbs.pcbeta.com ) also include huge amount of
illegal Vista resources !!

Can you believe that? Anyone who follow instructions to download the
activated KMS vmware image can host their own KMS server and activate Vista
business without limit!!????

The Chinese piracy have gone CRAZY !!

Are you complaining or advertising? With all those URLs it seems like

Vista will suffer more than XP.

When XP launched in 2001, there's no good crack for XP in the first year.
That early Russian crack just make system unstale.
There were customers buying geninue XP until one day, Shanghai City
Govenment had a deal with Microsoft, then leaked both the XP and Volume
License Key(s) to the public.

The stupid KMS is not better than VLK. Many IT professional in China can
easily host a KMS server (with stolen KMS key) and start activate Vista
Business edition as early as BEFORE Vista come to the retail market...
Without a crack, perfect activation. KMS is disaster.

..... However, what confuse me is that Microsoft should already known that in
China, XP VLK piracy were indeed done by dishonest Govenment sectors and
Business partners. So now Microsoft should eliminate any kind of Volume
License in China. All Windows sold in China must be activated one by one
against servers in headquater USA.

And about Microsoft deal with branded PC manufacturer, pre-installed
Windows???

Not many Chinese buy brand PC, most prefer DIY. Even for the brand PCs, only
top-end models from few brands pre-installed Windows.
The majority brand PCs still no Windows.

Maybe MS just doesn't really care.

Maybe MS purposely leak that so that they can maintain market share.....
After all, the Chinese did put out and advertise the use of FreeBSD/linux
based OS.......

Micrsoft should care NOW...
find a solution ASAP, just in case, in the next few months, hundreds of
Chinese KMS servers appear on the Internet and get out of control.

"Let's build a KMS server" is getting hot in China...

Quite a lot of Chinese IT websites now teach you how to build a KMS server.

So what?.
This is a peer to peer newsgroup, not a peer to Microsoft newsgroup.
If you are so 'concerned' then tell Microsoft.

Hi Roscoe,

From reading this and other threads in this group regarding Vista piracy in
China, I think Microsoft realizes that there's nothing it can do about
piracy there, especially as it appears to be sanctioned -- at least
unofficially -- by both Microsoft and its business partners in that country.

Microsoft makes up the dollars lost in piracy there by charging inflated
prices for its customers here in the USA. In effect, those of us in the USA
who buy Vista or purchase machines with Vista already preinstalled, are
subsidizing the piracy.

Microsoft is making the profit for worldwide sales of Vista that it's
established in its business model, those in China are getting it for
nothing -- and we USA customers are paying the bill.
