Who would steal Windows?

I hate that activate crap. People always forget to do that and then end up having to call Customer Service to speak to someone to activate it.... sucks. Is is still like that? 30 days or lockout?

More M$ lameness.

I wonder how many months it took MS to come up with that code, only to have some one crack it in 24 hours. LOL!

Serves them right for calling the function "window.g_sDisableWGACheck" in the first place...

Talk about your dead giveaways.

They could have given it some obscure name and it would have taken 48 hours to be cracked instead of 24.
