Hackers bypass activation in Windows 7, Server 2008 R2

Disagree

I am a registered owner of Windows 7 ... but I have yet to install it. Why? Product activation and its limits. It appears that if you swap out your C drive (e.g., you use ghost or acronis to back up your windows 7 system, and then restore to a different C, even of the same size), you will be confronted with a 3 day window to reactivate. You have 3 reactivations before you have to call Microsoft each time ... SO, if you regularly upgrade or swap your C drive, this will get old fast. I am pretty sure a cracked version won't suffer from this.

(Oh and for those who wonder who would swap out their C drives so much, that's easy ... the quality of hard drives today is appalling. Whenever I need to introduce a new drive [I use pullout bays], I make the new drive my C drive. If it doesn't fail before I need to do it again, then it is rotated into a data drive, and loaded up.)

They already do that a lot, banking corporations and gov agencies have hired renounced hackers that went to prison and everything. Try to break their **** and then tell them how they did it and what to do about it.

Hacking windows will be done. It is quite expensive, particularly for students. How many students do you know who have over $100 just lying around to spend on an OS. That is why I am still using a old XP install. If it was like OSX costing $30 then I would gladly upgrade to 7. And the fact that if anything goes wrong and you have to reinstall multiple times or use virtual drives, then you are paying out a lot of money.

who r u the bloody police lol how can u call someone who downloads something they dont want to pay for a thief unless u r a sucker for all the advertising they put out to make ppl think like that! are u? pricing is actually not a week argument at all that is the main reason people download illegally, and how are you going to be using the same os for 8 years try 2 if u really like it. In conclusion get a grip and join the real world hackers and downloaders are as much criminal as you are realistic...

Umm I once met a hacker and he was was bad he raped me picked my pocket stole one of my shoes and went muhaha... yes narrow minded I agree, I mean wtf no jobs I mean they r hackers I think they could hack themself a job lmao. Ur just a whiny ***** because u pay for urs andr too much of a pussi to do what u know the logical thing is. I mean look someone offers u 2 bowls of chocolate one costs a pound one costs nothing, but they r the same chocolate and the company which owns them is is making fuking billions. Shimples

Its funny how when MS brags about a better and most secure activation system the faster the hackers get around it. Ever since all the leaks, beta and RC, there has always been a way to hack W7 activation.

Not to support piracy, but is amusing to see how hackers are always a step ahead.

To the one who thinks Win7 is too expensive for students:

You're an *****. Look and you will find the STUDENT UPGRADE for $30.

Fail more please, thanks.

I have to agree with the statements that piracy and price have little to do with each other. It has to do with what others were saying about how the more you brag it's secure, the more people want to hack it. I bet the FBI and NSA have logs of people trying to hack their stuff. Why? For the sake of the "look at my l33t hax0r skilz" factor, of course.

Although i will say that price does play it's part. Not the largest one, but one none the less.

Windows 7 is cheap , but server 2008 R2 is not , its around 3000$
if it cheap like W7 i will buy it , but now im using the cracked version
TMG 2010 is around 75000$ !!! how can buy this ?? only the large companies
