news.com posted an article with the title "Bypass found for Windows piracy

source to the article is THIS mailing list
and the article is based on Debasis Mohanty's disclosure.
 The interesting on the article is the official microsoft answer
on the crack. "Microsoft confirmed that the technique could circumvent the 
piracy check, but a representative said Monday that the company is not 
worried." In the article the representative analyze this hack and explain why 
(by microsoft's opinion...) it is not a threat for Microsoft. Also the article 
speaks about the rapidly expiration which is a point that Debasis Mohanty 
mistaken.
