Considered by some as unethical as cracking MorphOS to remove the registeration requirement.

Who would those be?

I've seen 0 cracks of MorphOS, while millions use ad blocking.

I have windows 7 ultimate and it keeps on asking me for validation as ms seems to think that my copy is not really mine. But unfortunately i have misplaced my copy so have to do something else. Does anyone know where where i can get hold of a WGA Remover?

Thanks i got my product key but now it says i must reinstall windows from scratch to enter code. I lost my fricken copy!

MS then kindly offered to sell it to me for $295.

You can grab the original OEM DVD from any torrent site (search for "Windows 7 RTM 7600 16385" for instance). Since you have the original bought and have the product key at hand, there is no problem in downloading it. The DVD is useless without product key anyway.

the least you could do is not disable their pay-per-click ads, since that's what usually pays the bills for the many sites on the web (including blogs, etc).

Blocking them on your machine would prevent any user of your computer from every clicking on them

Firefox profiles are per user. I would never click any ad anyway. Thus, how is revenue dimished?
