Microsoft Office 2007 already cracked

Written by Brian Turner

Microsoft Windows

Even before final release to beta testers, cracked versions of Microsoft’s completed Office 2007 have already been posted online.

“Cracked software” means that the digital protections have been by-passed, often by usually a single registration key to activate a version for distribution.

Although Microsoft is likely to patch the crack and make the downloads less then useful, it remains surprising at the speed at which cracked versions of Microsoft Office 2007 have already been released.

However, Microsoft have been increasingly tying it’s product piracy protection together - so by the time it’s released, Office 2007 will likely only be able to be activateed if running on a verified copy of Windows.
