It was a wonderful gain for Microsoft, and both US and China's Gov't. but this won't end anything, the best it will do is temporarily disrupt the flow of things, but it will never end, for every security measure there are 150 individuals trying to crack it, it won't be able to end unless there is actually physical hardware that protects these things, software is too vulnerable.

It's probably second nature to some of these piracy groups, and it is probably like photocopying a sheet of paper to them. :) Mohan wrote:

But this is just one of many problems. They've got a long ways to go! At least WGA turned out to be worth it for Microsoft, right? But this is just one of many problems.
