Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office System will be released to the general public on January 29, 2007. However, both Microsoft products have been pirated extensively following their respective release to manufacturing. Windows Vista is the indisputable star in this aspect, but Office 2007 is not far behind.

Being one of Microsoft's main cash cows, together with Windows, the Office Suite is not a stranger to piracy. And while the Redmond Company is looking to push Office 2007 to in excess of 450 million customers, the users have beaten Microsoft to it. As was the case with Vista, an Office 2007 activation workaround is available in the wild.

The crack is in fact an Office 2007 product key generator. According to the source of the product key generator, the software produces volume license keys for the 2007 Microsoft Office System enterprise edition. Reports from users claim that the keys delivered by the generator bypass the Office Genuine Advantage tool.

Additionally, there are volume license keys presented in plain text. KGFVY-7733B-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX and DBXYD-TF477-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX are fully functional Office 2007 product keys. They have been altered on the inclusion in this article in order to render them useless.

The fact of the matter is that, if you really can't wait to give Office 2007 a spin, head out to this link. Here you will be able to read about a generous offer from Microsoft concerning an array of Office editions and products. For all of them the Redmond Company delivers a free trial-license with a two month validity. I installed Office 2007 Professional at home in this manner. Although the product comes with a trial license, I can assure you that it delivers complete functionality.
