14 DAY TRIAL // Windows Vista and the Office 2007 System have gone gold just the past week and already cracked versions are available for those initiated in the secrets of pirated software. While Vista and Office 2007 will be made available by Microsoft for the general public come January 30, 2007, the two applications have already been cracked and uploaded to various pirate websites.
Windows Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 will all be officially launched by the end of November and the operating system will be pushed via Volume Licenses starting on November 30, 2006. Additionally, Microsoft revealed a program in partnership with CompUSA to make Vista and Office 2007 available for Small Businesses across the United States at the same date via Microsoft Open Value and Microsoft Open Business licensing options.
But the pirated versions of Both Vista and Office 2007 have long beat Microsoft to the market. And the offer is diversified to say the least. Here is a selection of the pirated titles available from beta build of Office 2007 to the final product: Microsoft.Office.2007.Enterprise-WiNK, Microsoft Office Professional 2007+CDKEY, Microsoft Office 2007 Plus + serial beta 2, Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 + Serial No + English, 2007 Office Premium Pre Release 1, (Microsoft Office) Professional Plus! 2007 - (By MEM), 2007 Office Premium SP0, Microsoft Office Professionnel Plus 2007 French (BETA), Microsoft Office Professional Plus! 2007, Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise.
Just a superficial, and I do emphasize, superficial, count of the number of downloads for the pirated versions of the Office 2007 System reveals a number in excess of 100,000 downloads. And this is from a single pirate website, via BitTorrent.
Windows Vista is just as big an item of pray on the pirate websites. But the crackers even got creative on the operating system. There is even a Microsoft Windows Vista Final-BillGates 3555203 TPB version. Final-BillGates? I wonder how the package looks for that one? And the offer is just as consistent as the one for Office 2007. From Windows Vista RC1 to Microsoft.Windows.Vista.RTM. 32Bit.and.64Bit.AIO.DVD.READ.NFO-WinBeta. Microsoft windows vista rtm build 6000 is also available, but the pirate website additionally delivers a Windows.Vista.RTM.Activation.Crack-iND and the tool Microsoft.Windows.Vista. RTM.PROPER.Activation.Crack. The volume of downloads also jumps the 100,000 milestone, and also for the single website mentioned above.
?Microsoft is happy that customers are eager to begin using Windows Vista; however, the copies available for download are not final code and users should avoid unauthorized copies which could be incomplete or tampered. This unauthorized download relies on the use of pre-RTM activation keys that will be blocked using Microsoft?s Software Protection Platform. Consequently, these downloads will be of limited value,? stated a Microsoft representative.
