Thai resellers prove Microsoft XP can be cracked
Cnet News.com has a story on the shops at Bangkok's Pantip Plaza. Aparently they pirates had found ways of getting around the new operating system's security features. Not that anyone figured this would be hard to crack, but the only bootlegs I have seen were the beta and select distrobutions. They further detail that the Thai shops are selling the copies for a low price of $2.70. However the copies that are seen in the shops in Thailand are the corperate version which have an OEM number on the back of the CD. This doesn't require the internet authentication. Need software?
