WoW!!! It looks like those hackers are wasting absolutely no time in digginh into Windows 7. The final RTM (release to manufactoring) code of Win 7 was released to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturor) such as DELL, HP, Lenevo etc just last week, yet hackers in China have allegedly cracked the activation system from leaked activation keys from the OEM Lenevo. Upon some further reading I discoverd that the hack is very high risk though, and you can run the risk of bricking your entire computer. Its really technical and way above the average user's expertise. So i don't see this as any more different from the hacks in activation on other Windows products. Sure MS will have to put up with pirated copies, but truth is they have been for years. I personally would not download any pirated copy of Windows 7. Truthfully, Win7 may be the best windows ever. I use the RC (release candidate) released by Microsoft for public testing as my main OS and I'm loving everything about it. I'll purchase the original copy when it's launched in October. read more here:http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10299051-83.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea.1
