    Vista gold but cracked already[^] Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007 only just went gold, and their anti-piracy measures have already been cracked...It comes supplied with a product key, allowing users to install the operating system on their computers unhindered

    cheers, Chris Maunder

      That's Paul-speak for "I don't do cracks and warez, I only use legal software". Being a nice kid, he had to say that indirectly ;P

      That's what pleasing a sponsor is all about. And we can be pretty sure he has windows vista legally, since he's always reporting new stuff on the OS when there's something new to report.

      WM. What about weapons of mass-construction?

        But can you hear all the crying out there when a Windows Update in the future locks their computer down to nothing more than a web browser for one hour per day, after Microsoft blocks the patches and sends out the update to their machines.

        That only happens to legitimate users :mad:
