Microsoft "Genuine Advantage" Cracked

"This week, Microsoft started requiring users to verifiy their serial number before using Windows Update. This was an effort to force users to either buy XP or tell them where you got the illegal copy and iscalled 'Genuine Advantage.' It was cracked within 24 hours."

For those who labour under the WinOS, before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:
javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

[It turns off the trigger for the key check.]

Better long-term solution, buy Apple. Soon the same chip set as you currently use, only a better OS. [IMO]
