Bad Microsoft

All you XP users out there, here is undeniable proof that Microsoft used pirated software to create some of the content that comes with Windows XP.

Open up Windows Exploder and navigate to C:\Windows\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Audio\Wav

Right click on any of the .wav files there and open it with notepad. You will see all the normal .wav computer gunk, but scroll down to the bottom for the watermark. These files were created in Sound Forge 4.5 which was registered to Deepz0ne.

Deepz0ne was a cracker in the warez group "Radium" which specialized in cracking audio software back in the day. Not sure if they're still around, but any illegal copy of Sound Forge would have been registered to Deepz0ne.

Sound Forge is owned by Sony, so I guess I don't really care. Here is the watermark from one of these files.
