XP product activation keys were not cracked.

ISO images containing the corporate OEM versions of Office/Windows XP were posted on multiple newsgroups and P2P sites by open source cultists working for Dell Computers in Austin, Texas.

Thanks to the anonymity afforded by the Internet and so valued by cyber libertarians, no prosecutions or arrests were made. Dell employees and England's The Register all know the pre-activated copies of XP products on the Internet were leaked by open source cultists at Dell.

lolololol.

Dude, I run cracks on all my XP software so, keep telling me how it's a myth...

(But the software is all legal. I just refuse to let MS "approve" my installations.)
