Hey, way to look like an idiot!

the tiny photo on the Windows Vista Business Edition installation disks is an anti-piracy feature.

It's talking about the tiny photo. Do you see an "s" at the end of "photo"? Neither do I. It looks singular to me. That may be why it's "is".

Secondly, it's a matter of opinion whether "says" should be in the past or not. It's perfectly correct the way it is now.

http://www.google.com/search?q="microsoft+said"

848,000 vs 700,000 results in favour of "says".

Next time, try correcting actual mistakes.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
