Little changes, potential securiy risks
I thought this was an
interesting post talking about how to login to an expired (Windows Genuine Advantage activation system) Windows machine.
Basically involves using the Narrator program for accessibility to launch Internet Explorer where you can then browse to your local files, etc.
What I find interesting is by a simple hyperlink in an about box you can bypass the intended security - one simple looking change that wasn't completely thought through in all usage scenarios.
