Subject: Product activation is exploitable

Just one question about this, why didn't anyone made a server (software) that would accept product activations and processed them as a MS server? Is that hard to do such an attack?

I don't have the resources or the knowledge to do such a thing but I think is easier to do than to patch the windows itself.

As anyone tried to do this? know anyone who tried? have any info on the protocol used?
