Customers running genuine Microsoft® Windows® will see no effect beyond the initial installation wizard. Users running non-genuine Windows® software will see the notifications at boot and login times, as well as periodically via a system tray bubble notification. Notifications are displayed until the system is running genuine Microsoft® Windows®. Users can choose to suppress the notifications. Notifications will be on systems that are not running genuine Windows software and users will be directed to customised Web page on the Microsoft® Website where they can learn more about the benefits of genuine software and take advantage of the genuine Microsoft® Windows® offer designed to help victims of counterfeit software.
