Microsoft would have used a pirated version of SoundForge!

As surprising as that can appear, it would seem that Microsoft used a pirated version of the audio editor Soundforge when designing its operating system Windows XP.

Indeed if you go in the following repertory:

C:/Windows/Help/Tours/WindowsMediaPlayer/Audio/Wav/and which you open one of files WAV present with a text editor (notepad is enough) you will see appearing this in last line:

LISTR INFOICRD
2000-04-06 IENG Deepz0ne ISFT Sound Forges 4.5;Sound Forge 4.0

Deepz0ne is a cracker pertaining to the Radium group as this chatlog confirms it . Enough strange thus that its name appears in audio files published with Soundforge 4.0 and 4.5, knowing that this last created aces for this software.

Microsoft was not expressed yet concerning this file, a problem with justice moreover.
