Cracked Anti-Crack
Recently Microsoft has taken their "Genuine Advantage" program to the next level, making it so that illegal copies of Windows XP can no longer access Windows Update or other programs that require the "Genuine Advantage" Active-x control.
Within 24 hours of this release, it appears that a crack for this has been found. When the user goes to http://update.microsoft.com, before the user clicks the 'express' or 'custom' buttons, simply cut and paste the following into the browser and hit enter:

This will disable the check for the active-x control. If i had time, i would probably become a underworld Robin Hood and rescue those poor soles that have to use cracked windows.javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

I wouldn't say WGA got cracked, b/c that would imply that the mechanism was programatically altered somehow. It's really more of a bypass, since the Javascript code disables WGA from running. It has the same effect if, when running Internet Explorer, click on Tools, then Manage Add-ins, select the WGA item from the list, and then select "Disable".
Also, you imply that illegal copies of Windows XP are cracked, but what about the ones that are corporate versions and use simple keygens to install? Those illegal copies aren't cracked, now are they?
BTW, "poor soles" should be "poor souls", unless you're implying that the bottom of your foot has the ability to use an illegal copy of Windows.
