Windows 7 RTM Crack Confirmed by Microsoft

Well, At least I can see that Microsoft has been making moves in the right direct, as I am typing this review/opinion of Windos 7... On a Windows 7 Machine. (microsoft.com downloaded RC version build 7100).

I believe Mircosoft is trying to push out the latest OS to compete with Apple's new and upcoming operating systems, however cracks are always an issue for all systems.

I think microsoft is not doing a bad job, but rather ignorant users choose to toy with this software company. Microsoft is issuing valid, 1 year old cd keys with most of the RC clients using Windows 7 beta.

Cracks are ment for one thing, illegally giving a user acess they would not otherwise have. Releasing these cracks also gives users a risk of - as forementioned - infected software, or if downloaded from a peer-to-peer client application, the whole OS could be bugged. The question is, can users trust these downloads to:
1) Support their needs
2) Come virus free

If you really want a functional Operating System, I would deffinitely suggest buying Windows 7 RTM.
What's $250 (approximation, I am certainly unware to the current costs of Microsoft's release) to losing your $10,000 credit card numbers to trojans?

Why not actually support the software that you like? People send time and money on this and they should be rewarded for it.
So, If you want to get a taste of Windows 7, Download it from Windows Microsoft.com website, and if you like it, feel free to do the right thing and purchase it once officially released.

Ok, your oppinion is valid, but please allow me to ask some questions:

1) How much do you earn by hour, US $ 10? and how much somebody placed in somewhere else earn by hour? for example, you have to work three days to buy a copy, somebody in somewhere may be have to work a hole month to buy it!!!

I think that is not fare make that somebody have to not buy food to afford a copy of this! Please, be realists the people have to eat. Microsoft should understand that. If they offer me a copy wich I can pay by tree days of my salary, you can be sure that I will buy it.

I tottaly agree with Whocares :) ... it is too expensive for some ppl like myself for exsample.. here monthly pay is about 150-200 euros MAX and that is if you are lucky to get a good job... in other 100 euro or less... so ppl will have to work month and more for one os and not get any money for themself... im not saing i like piracy but i think those who dont or cant buy legal softwar let tem use piracy ... I first will like to buy original windows for the first time but dont have money... anyway piracy is such a low loss for big companis , they are greedy ..it is like you have 999$ and somebody stole you 1$ ... Greed is all...

I Would say that i never saw any OS on peer 2 peer that had trojans in it.
I Guess you're pretty safe in saving 250€
if an OS would cost 50€ then i would def. buy it.

@Whocares:

Get real. If cost is your concern, get a Linux or BSD distro. Stop acting like MS is the only OS.

@ The Doctor:
Everything comes for a reason and i agree with Whocares and Djura, somewhere people earn around $200 max for a very very good jobs (just like in my country, Vietnam - with University certificates from abroad and possess good English communication skills) and they DONT WANT TO PAY MUCH for just an OS.

MSW (Microsoft Windows) is not the only OS, but amost every necessary and interesting, and of course easy and friendly softwares to use, are written in OS platform. Could you play daily normal games on Apple? Yes, but very few! And how about with Linux? Even fewer! Other OS only support very few applications and softwares for working and entertainment purposes and that's why they people are choosing Windows as their first choice for a new OS!

MS is not greedy, in some meaning, because they created Windows and we should respect that! Thanks to MS developers and supporters for creating such a common OS, but they should apply a better prices at least for the poor regions, or lower the general prices worldwide if they could. Everybody would appreciate that.

Microsoft is #1 because people steal there software. I'm sure they are concerned about people not paying for a license, but also it works in there favor too.

Let's face the truth... "to protect customers that are tricked into buying pirated products that they believe are genuine."

0,01% (= nobody) are "tricked" into using cracks. We do it cuz Micro$oft is rich enough

Quote: “Microsoft strongly advises customers not to download Windows 7 from unauthorized sources. Downloading Windows 7 from peer-to-peer Web sites exposes users to increased risks – such as viruses, Trojans, and other malware and malicious code – that usually accompany counterfeit software. These risks can seriously harm or permanently destroy data and often expose users to identity theft and other criminal schemes" :Endquote

Typical Microsoft lies, I have brought several OS's from Microsoft over the past 5 years, I always end up downloading it, Why? Because its better, No stupid COA sticker junk and having to play with there silly product codes every time, I have downloaded Windows over 30 times now, different versions etc including Windows 7, never got a virus, even without a security application. Cracking Windows is the best way to go, even if you can afford to buy there operating systems. I will never buy another copy of Windows again.

Where I live (Thailand), it's one-two months salary for many people! Would YOU pay two months salary for it, or look for a crack?

Do you understand that the price of software is the same in 3rd world countries as in the first world?
