[gigapet]

why do they even bother

 

So no surprises there then.

So that is all right then.

Who TF writes this crap?

 

[kitkat22]

because it keeps the average pirates at bay

 

[shilala]

That took what? About 15 minutes?

 

[mugs]

It's not useless, they're trying to stop the casual pirates who borrow a CD from a friend, not the knowledgeable people. Just like with activation.

Not suprised it was an Indian who cracked it 😉...........quite a lot of foreign investment over there

Yea, I thought it'd be a complicated solution, but that's rather simple.

they probably do. thing is, those QA testers probably want to make sure that the software remains free for their friends.

:laugh:

 

[spidey07]

wow...just...wow

 

Tell me again why Microsoft is such a prestigious company to work for?

 

[bmacd]

if somebody finds the exe, i'd love to beta test it! 😉 PM me please 🙂

-=bmacd=-

 

[slycat]

i'm confused..i've been using windowsupdate the last 3 days and today...i didn't experience any GenuineAdv problems or anything.

edit:..wait, just tried again on one machine and it installed some GA crap..i guess thats it.
