Microsoft gives hackers "Genuine Advantage". Analysts confounded.

Microsoft recently started checking computers for valid product keys before allowing users to use Windows Update. This effort to get users to buy original Windows XP is called "Genuine Advantage"... it was cracked in less than 24 hours.

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.

I exist to be clicked.

Incidentally, I am amazed at how easily this crack works. Just wonderful, it is.
