Hi Steve: This is an interesting read and comments are quite pointed. It does point out the details that were not presented in the Registry article and gives a fuller picture. If he is in fact is selling his hack that puts a different spin on it. A friend, from England commented that if cornered Jamie may just decide to open-source it and now try to get the 'Genie back in the bottle'. Something like the Norwegian fellow who first hacked the DVD security, tried to sell it, got shut-down and then open-sourced his product and subsequently went on to hack the iTunes security. Maybe if he had been bought off with a full-time job, Jon Lech Johansen would have never have gained cult hero status: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Lech_Johansen Unfortunately, it will take a long time to dispel the damage done. The only way Microsoft is going to have a fair platform is to approach such sites as SlapShot and Registry and ask for equal time.
