Microsoft Office 2007 - PIRATED
Well, I think its been about 3 weeks since Microsoft Office 2007 went RTM (Ready for Manafacture), but I have found out that its already been uploaded to the web to download illegally. Reports have been made that Vista is also available for download, although I haven’t tried this myself. It’s unbelievable how soon these crackers have been able to receive these copies, although it does appear that they are in fact hacked copies incorporating the BETA activation files. Office however, uses a VLK license (Volume License Key), which in turn means it can be used over and over again, just as many people did with Windows XP Corparate Edition.
The release date for Microsoft Office and Vista is set to be about 30th January, so we’ll see how these new versions persist against their buyers.

Office 2007 isn’t related to Microsoft’s BETA giveaway.
While the cracked vista now uses a BETA key, it will only be valid until January, 2007 which is when the key is default to expire. So there isn’t much point in downloading Vista as it will only last a few weeks, although of course many will hoping that a new crack will be developed in the meantime.
Office 2007 however was a dream come true for torrent downloaders because the Enterprise edition (as with it’s predecessors) can use the same key over and over again.
This is from what I can gather anyway

I think I did word that incorrectly. The Office Enterprise illegally obtained version is actually a VLK (Volume License Key). And yes, Hidden Ability is right in saying it can be used over and over again.
