Pirates crack Windows 7 RTM before official release

[naughtydog]

Sh1t has hit the fan again for Microsoft – pirates have managed to crack Windows 7 copy protection mechanism even before the OS’s official release. It’s nothing surprising though – everybody knew this was going to happen and it was just a question of when. Well that nagging question has now been answered. Windows 7 Ultimate RTM build 7600.16385 (which was leaked a few days ago) has been cracked and this time it’s not with a time stopper hack or a trial period re-arm workaround – the new exploit makes use of Microsoft’s OEM activation 2.1 to bypass WGA and pre activate illegitimate copies of Windows 7 even in offline mode.

as usual it happens all time before windows releases, leaking RTM is another problem for microsoft, it is up to you to use illegal or legal.

Is it really that surprising in today's net climate :)

If this became a Windows 7 discussion thread

I'm still waiting until eXPer1ence mods the final, to make up for 7's increased requirements, before considering installing it.

[naughtydog]

I haven't tried any of the copies out now but what kind of increased requirements are we talking about here anon? Is it the ram, HD space etc? or a new hardware needed?

[anon]

The minimum requirements are:

• A 1GHz processor
• 1GB of RAM (2GB for the x64 version)
• A DirectX 9-compatible GFX card with 128MB of RAM
• 16GB of free space (20GB for the x64 version)

i was lucky

but i said
"ok lets give it a try"

AND

16GB of free space (20GB for the x64 version)

I am wondering how I can now make room for this windows when I have files on my pc I cant delete, even after a full format files come on miraculously through torrenting. Thing is you delete this today and realised you downloaded something to replace it. My HD space has never gone above 20gig of free space and I wonder what at all is on my pc ...lol

[anon]

I have just 1.38GB of free space in my C: myself... this is going to be tough.

Don't you have "Windows 7 Build 7600 Activator" on your private tracker? I just checked the comments on zamunda and it seems it works good.
