Re: Crack Office XP

["ricardo_x" <ricardo_x () hotmail com>]

... just wanted to add my 2 cents:

folks,
regardless whether any progy/os is crackable or not (btw please add
office-xp to the list)
what I find incredible and a true issue to this newsgroup is micro$oft's
intention to 100% implement
the raw sockets specification. (see more info at Steve Gibson'
http://grc.com/dos/winxp.htm)

welcome to the jungle,

ricardo
