I saw this over at the ubuntu forums and thought it was pretty funny.

Wow, either wine is really good, or windows authentication is extremely poor

And that, sir, is exactly why I would never in a million years work for Microsoft. Well... that among other things.

That's actually really funny. It show how much their Genuine Advantage system sucks ass and why we should all move to open-source right away.

Why? You wouldn't have to do a good job clearly

My real windows has failed that test many times. Perhaps its purely a number randomizer and if it gets an 11 using a microsoft programmers number gen it says failed to validate.

erm im not too educated on this subject but apparently wine emulates windows 98 or something, which is why it passes

Haha, the thing is, my computer with Vista has failed a few times.

I tried and failed. My old computer just doesn't like any Linux OS.

Wow...that's just sad. Yet when I run it on windows 2000, the OS isn't supported or something. Just tried it on my Ubuntu box with crossover and I apparently have genuine windows too.

Do you got an ATI video card? That was my problem.... so I switched to onboard and took out my Radeon

[Raui]

Lol now thats funny. I'm really thinking of switching to Linux

[philywilly]

Ahaha.. a good laugh.. thanks for the share.

Wow this is not too surprising for me, thats why my personal computer is a powerbook g4.... no crappy authentication programs, just pure awesome computing ability. O and I swear I am not a mac fan boy or anything
