MS Gives Up on Anti-Piracy Moves

This one is from JohnB.

Microsoft has given up on their "Windows Genuine Advantage" now, which was supposed to restrict updates to less than legal copies of their operating systems. Almost immediately, several schemes for bypassing the controls appeared on the web. Evidently, it was a rather easy hack and approachable from several directions. One has to wonder why Microsoft bothered.
