    Article claims that official #Microsoft support technicians used a crack to activate a recalcitrant copy of #Windows. If the report is accurate, that's a big deal and they'll be trying to find and fire that person.

    1. Microsoft support 'cracks' Windows for customer after activation fails
      from @BleepinComputer
      In an unexpected twist, a Microsoft support engineer resorted to running an unofficial 'crack' on a customer's Windows PC after a genuine copy of the operating system failed to activate normally. It seems, this isn't the first time either that a Microsoft support professional has employed such workarounds.
