Are you gonna let Microsoft call y...Hey Fake Paul!<br /><br />Are you gonna let Microsoft call you a hack? YOU!?? THE numero uno, grand poobah of ALL THINGS MICROSOFT?<br /><br />Eff that noise I say!<br /><br />http://community.winsupersite.com/blogs/paul/archive/2009/10/29/enough-microsoft-no-one-is-endorsing-piracy-obviously.aspx<br /><br />I love the self-righteous nature of this little Microsoft post, which quite clearly addresses the "hack" I published the other day without actually providing a link or naming names.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it looks like it is time to have this conversation again though. Over the past several days there have been various posts, etc. across a variety of social media engines stating that some “hack” (be it a person or a procedure) shows that a Windows 7 Upgrade disc can perform a “clean” installation of Windows 7 on a blank drive from a technical perspective. Of course, from the posts I saw, they often forgot to mention a very basic, yet very important piece of information… “Technically possible” does not always mean legal.JMVnoreply@blogger.com
