MS Anti-Piracy Scheme Cracked

Thanks to John B. for finding us this one.

The Inquirer is reporting that less than 24 hours after Microsoft implemented a scheme to prevent pirated copies of Windows XP from being updated with anything but security updates, it has been cracked. Thus it is and ever shall be.

By the way; The original copy and original installation on my wife's Compaq laptop is rejected by this measure as illegitimate, though we have never touched it nor modified the hardware involved. I'll be calling MS about this later today and will let you know how it goes.
