Windows7 Hacked

Windows 7 cracks are out. These use the OEM provider's information to authenticate your Windows 7 weather it's through updating your motherboards bios with slip 2.1 information in it or using a loader that makes vista think it's running a OEM bios.

Windows 7 is nice and it's been long overdue after the mud we had to drag ourselves through with XP and Vista but I'm wondering why don't people buy the software they use to support a good company OR help develop other operating systems that are free and open.

I think the answer lies in how people feel ripped off by microsoft. I myself have been victim of the WGA "False Negatives" in two xp copies (one came with my gateway laptop) and even in my one vista ultimate license. I was not going to buy my vista again to make it genuine. I paid for it. So I hacked it instead. It cost me a lot of money and I was going to use it dammit.

I think people are getting cracked copies of Windows 7 because they feel they are victims of losing money in previous operating systems. Those same people I see getting Windows7 illegally are the same people who buy every game they own and had bought previous operating systems. They are not hardened criminals, just victims with no legal recourse.

I use windows for gaming and linux for everything else. One day there will be a sane operating system and a drive towards multiplatform development (ChromOS anyone?). Until then I'll keep using Windows for gaming.

People are waking up! You are not alone America!

For the first time I've seen a massive amount of people question their government and their party ties. People at work and out on the town are starting to ask each other why the government has such a huge rate of failure and misrepresents what the people want.

This will be a revolution. It will not be a violent one. It will be fought with logic, common sense, and with families coming together in a community to address issues the old way, democratically. I am very proud of those who are brave enough to stand up and say "I'm not a politician but I know I'm not a fool. I don't want to be lied to anymore. I am a intelligent American and I know whats best for my family, not some suit in Washington".

People will come together peacefully. They will do like Dr. King. They will fight with words and honor in civil disobedience. Our forefathers fought a bloody war so we would not need to any time soon.

We all may be created equal under god, but we all equally need to use hard work to become great. No big government can make you great. You can only be great through personal responsibility and honor like our heroes who are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our firefighters who walk into burning buildings with a hundred pounds of gear and pull people out and our men and women in law enforcement.
