"Windows 7 Ultimate has been cracked. The pirate milestone, reached almost three months before Windows 7 is set to hit General Availability on October 22, 2009, was achieved via OEM instant offline activation that passes Windows Genuine Advantage validation and keeps the operating system permanently activated. Previous cracks weren't as solid: while they may be working now, they can easily be disabled by Microsoft. This one won't be so easy."

"Microsoft is committed to protecting our customers and partners from counterfeit and pirated software"
Haha. I understand that they dont want windows to be pirated and that they are going to do what they need to do to prevent it. But I really wish they would stop trying to play it off like they are somehow protecting their customers and just admit that they are protecting their wallets and nothing else. Its like a purse snatcher insisting that they were just trying to protect their victim from a back injury because her purse looked heavy. No one is buying the story and no-one ever will.
