Directron and WIN XP Keygen?

wtf ... and to think i was gonna order some stuff from this place for my workplace.

I think they are still a pretty good reseller


wow, I did not know about that
 
Why does that page have a different look from their homepage? The colors are different and the logo is different. It says ".org" instead of .com
 
you can access it from directron.com, interesting stuff. not sure why they have links to a crack site on their site.
 
I understand that they are trying to prevent piracy, but as an IT admin that has to deploy computers from an image, it's getting to the point where I cannot. I already have to install all of the graphics software from scratch (adobe, macromedia, quark, etc..) because of activation. Then when it says activation failed call xxx-xxx-xxxx I'm on hold for an hour per workstation. this is getting stupid.

[sorry, end rant]

IMO cracks are PERFECTLY acceptable if you've actually licensed your software. But the software companies don't usually see it that way.

Microsoft sees the sysadmin side of the argument, they're perfectly happy to sell you pre-cracked versions 😛

Thats not a crack. Thats a "Windows XP Product Key Generator Activation Code Serial Number Keygen Pro CD Key"

It generates illegal keys. You purchase the license and the key specific to it.

I was responding to aircooled's rant, not to the OP. And judging by the title (I'm sure as hell not actually clicking that link, it REEKS of trap) it can be used to bypass the annoying activation bits that aircooled is talking about, too.
