Thanks for the link - what a great site. Any chance of adding it to the security FAQ?

I'll leave it a month or two and pick up a moody copy, someone should have cracked it by then!!

There's already 2 Office 2007 Enterprise versions floating around the net (If you know where to look).

Neither of them needs to be activated, already activated.

Offcourse down the line getting updates might become an issue.

Most people do however seem to like the 2003 version better...

Why do we want to use MS Office 2007, 99 percent of all MS Office will never use the new functions introduced in MS Office 2007.

Second and one of the most important new function introduced in MS Office 2007 is the that this new MS Office release will stop working. After Microsoft finds out that the MS Office installation is illegal, it is not longer possible to create or save documents, printing and on screen reading of MS Word documents will always be possible. This new security is similar to the upcoming release of MS Windows Vista, only difference MS Windows security key is much more strong then the MS Office key which is only 128 bit in strength.

Q9: Does the product stop working if I do not activate it?

A9: No. When the full functionality of the program and the number of program starts are exhausted, the product runs in reduced-functionality mode.

Wonder if it's just a registry entry where they keep count? Wonder what would happen if you just initialized the counter with a larger negative number, or used a startup script to keep it set back?
