Default Windows Genuine Advantage Cracked in record time.

In a turn of events that you just knew was going to happen, (but perhaps not this soon) Microsoft's Genuine Windows Advantage CD key check has already been cracked. Taking less than 20 hours from the release of this security system till the time that this crack was made public seems almost comical. Either MS is paying their security employees peanuts or its hiring monkeys to create these security methods.

This latest security measure is overcome by a simple line of text put into the URL just before you go to update. This is exactly why not only people but countries are moving away from MS operating systems. With security this good, your system is compromised within seconds of seeing the welcome screen for the first time.

Genuine Advantage?
