WinXP product activation cracked: totally, horribly, fatally

Looks like WPA won't last for long, it will be lucky to make it at the ship date...

the funny part is that they didn't have to finesse the actual program code, but just used windows own "checkup" file.

won't they ever learn?

Lookin like another ME. 20% slower at some stuff, and no benefit for the power user over win2k. If I want pretty graphics I would use litestep.

It is more stable, from my experience

More stable than win2k? I know a guy running win2k that hasn't rebooted since he installed the OS. Maybe a power outage in there. 2k is going in my new system, and I won't even think of upgrading it until Counterstrike XP comes out (as if).
