That is tooooo funny!

I guess if M$ was willing to "leak" versions of a new OS to snag some free Beta Testing, it only makes sense they would provide this as well.

Maybe there's a QXXXXXXXX on key generation if you look hard enough

I seriously doubt that, but that would be even funnier than this Q.

I'm sure there are key gens out there, but the fact that they (MS) are posting this in their Q articles is just saying that their WPA has probably made them more money from the less-than-computer-literate customers, but at the same time, failed in curbing piracy altogether.

Add that to userContent.css in your Mozilla profile directory and it fixes the overlapping text on MS' kb articles.

Strangely enough I heard someone say that when they switched Mozilla to identify as IE the KB articles rendered just fine without that fix...
