    Microsoft has put out a release - no press or hype or dodging the issue, but 
    simple facts

    ... just wanted to add my 2 cents:
    
    folks,
    regardless whether any progy/os is crackable or not (btw please add
    office-xp to the list)
    what I find incredible and a true issue to this newsgroup is micro$oft's
    intention to 100% implement
    the raw sockets specification. (see more info at Steve Gibson'
    http://grc.com/dos/winxp.htm)
    
    welcome to the jungle,
