Uh Oh! Windows 7 Activation Cracked!

When will companies learn that DRM and product activations don’t work? When people are determined to do something they WILL do it! Case and point, not more then two months until Windows 7 launches, it has been cracked with an OEM activation code.
In less than a week since Windows 7 was released to manufacturing, the first crack for the Ultimate edition of the latest iteration of the Windows client is already available in the wild. The Windows 7 Build 6.1.7600.16385 Ultimate crack is capable of activating the high-end SKU of the operating system indefinitely. The product key comes from the only source possible, an OEM, as original equipment manufacturers are the first and for the time being the last group to receive the gold bits of the operating system from Microsoft. Together with the RTM development milestone of Windows 7, the Redmond company has also supplied OEM partners with activation product keys, one of which was extracted from a leaked OEM image of the platform.
Although at this point nobody has actually demonstrated the crack, forums are lit up with information regarding how to crack the OS. Only a matter of time until its in the wild.
