Dear Bill, please downsize

Days after Microsoft Corp. launched a new anti-piracy program, hackers have found a way to get around it. The software company's new program, called Windows Genuine Advantage, requires computer users to go through a process validating that they're running a legitimate copy of the Windows operating system before downloading any software updates except for security patches.

 

 

But the check can be bypassed by entering a simple JavaScript command in the Web browser's address bar and hitting the "Enter" key. When that's done, the validation does not run and the user is taken directly to the download.

The other thing is, he bitches about education in this country and how he can't get enough good programmers. The layers of irony there are just overwhelming. I wonder if, all of a sudden, he had a huge pool of qualified applicants, would he continue outsourcing? Hmmm.... Where's the motivation for studying hard if everyone sees you shipping their jobs overseas?
