Well it’s no big surprise that Windows 7 has already been cracked.  In response to this, Microsoft has been telling customers not to pirate the operating system, but they are happy to hear that people are installing Windows 7.

It only took a few days for the Windows activation to be cracked, and the same also happened with Windows Vista.  Microsoft warns about downloading cracked and unauthorized versions, because you will be more vulnerable to viruses, trojans and possibly the law (if you are caught).

But overall Microsoft are quite pleased that people are using the new operating system and they find it to be almost flattering that it has been cracked so fast and spreading across the web. After the dismal attitude towards Vista, Microsoft really needs Windows 7 to shine.

Although with more and more new operating systems coming out free (Linux, Chrome), Microsoft will eventually have to reconsider their sales strategy.
