This is the product from the team I joined at Microsoft a couple of months ago.
We launch today and I'm happy to say I made significant contributions to a successful launch.

Microsoft "Genuine Advantage" cracked in 24h: window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all'
Cory Doctorow: AV sez, "This week, Microsoft started requiring users to verifiy their serial number before using Windows Update. This effort to force users to either buy XP or tell them where you got the illegal copy is called 'Genuine Advantage.' It was cracked within 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.
