At least Misrosoft is under preassure [...]

A couple of days ago Microsoft came with a new free Anti-Virus product – Microsoft Security Essentials I will not comment on Microsoft ability to create security products, my opinion could be based of course.

Activation codes vs serial numbers
What is the difference between an activation code and a serial number. The biggest one is: One of them costs money and could be a product for your e-shop and another doesn’t cost anything.
