Pasting the crack in windows.

I think If microsoft wanted to dissable pirated windows with their genuine advantage tool they could easily. What they do in the real world is to turn the odd desktop background black here and there. Some believe that there is a an unspoken hands off policy towards pirated windows machines in the third world.

I believe that for many years companies such as symantic and mcafee have made vast profits from the vunerabilities that exist in windows operating systems. Vunerabilities that really are microsofts responsibility to fix, and this I feel is the real intention of the "morrow" project.

No money should be taken for this kind of software from the vendor that created the OS and really it's just windows being fixed at last, Of course it will break again but I think that MS are best placed to come up with the right patches and I do look forward to trying out this new plug when it is deployed mid next year.
