It was only a matter of time before methods designed to illegally circumvent the antipiracy measures in Windows 7 made their way into the wild. And, in this regard, the latest iteration of the Windows client joins its predecessors, for which a consistent collection of leaked volume keys, key generators (keygens), hacks, cracks and activation bypass techniques, including those targeting OEM activation, is already available from various sources, for those that know where to look. Now, Windows 7 users can also take their pick of fresh items from the bazaar of activation cracks, and illegally prolong the life of the operating system without activating the product, and of course without buying a license, for that matter.

Seriously, how many times Microsoft have to learn from their mistake. There’s no stop on pirate-Windows-CD, all version, Microsoft failed to secure their originality. I bet most of the sale they’re making soon (or already) only on OEM machine, since buyer has no choice on the first time.
Even though Windows is a close-sources platform, but clever people still manage to get into “how-it-work” and crack it. We can’t deny that Macintosh don’t have a pirated version, it happen less, due to the limited market share.
Anyway, I believe that people don’t buy OS, they buy software. Consumer spend money on software more than on their operating system. It is always best to look for alternative business deal. For instance, Microsoft should consider lower down the operating system pricing and heavily promote their others software, especially Microsoft office. Most consumer using Windows just for Microsoft Office (and it crash like hell in Macintosh). Stop thinking about investing on those bahamas hotels and making profits, think about long term winning situation, now!
