(Think of the electricity alone that would be saved in that one day if all computers were shutdown!)

Mikel writes: "Descriptions on how to crack the anti-piracy technology of Vista have been surfacing all over the internet over the past weeks. Most of them requiring rather sophisticated techniques. It's all water under the bridge now: We found out that here is a rather simple trick, one you may not believe at first -at least we didn't.
