Windows vista hologram

You totally have blown any rep you may have ever had with this outright, barefaced lie. Battlepope, you believe every official statement you read? What about it? People have gotten fired for easter eggs at MS in the past. Comment by Nathan Weinberg June 14, I never lie on this blog. All they care about is the data on the bottom side. And as long as that can be copied with relative ease, Microsoft will continue to be one step behind the pirates. The photo in question is only one of multiple images contained in the hologram design, all of whose inclusion serves to make it more difficult to replicate a Windows Vista DVD.

The other images are of old master works of art that are in the public domain. These images are part of numerous other security measures that have been designed into our media, packaging and certificates of authenticity.

Other images on the disc -- Kwisatz said he had found three others, but couldn't make out details -- are art masterpieces in the public domain, added White. Microsoft stepped up the DVD antiduplication measures used for Vista and embedded numerous holograms in the plastic. There's one mystery still unsolved, however: White did not name the three tiny Microsoft employees. But maybe the readers of Make magazine's blog can help there. The fourth is a mac user," opined one.

Microsoft has been quick to explain why the holographic image on the face of the Windows Vista DVD includes a microscopic picture of three men who just so happen to be members of the team who worked on the Windows Vista DVD hologram design. Multiple images are contained in the hologram design, all of whose inclusion serves to make it more difficult to replicate a Windows Vista DVD.

The other images are of old master works of art that are in the public domain. The images are less than 1mm in size and are not visible to the naked eye, so must be viewed using optical magnification.

Their presence does not affect the contents of the DVD and these security measures were never intended to be impossible to find, but rather difficult to reproduce. The photo in question is only one of multiple images contained in the hologram design, all of whose inclusion serves to make it more difficult to replicate a Windows Vista DVD. The other images are of old master works of art that are in the public domain. White continues on saying that, although the image is posted across the Internet, the DVDs and their packaging contain several other measures which help prevent counterfeiting.

As holographic designs are already difficult to replicate, including obscure images in them adds yet another layer of security.
