Gotcha indeed
Microsoft is a very aggressive member of the anti-piracy hordes, but on occasion feels free to use the services of the "other side":
An anonymous reader writes "German PC-Welt magazine reports that Microsoft used an illegal copy of SoundForge 4.5 (Google translation) for editing Wave files shipped with Windows Media Player. You can check that yourself by opening any file in the [Windows location] HelpToursWindowsMediaPlayerAudioWav folder in notepad or other editors of your choice and looking at the last line. There you will find a reference to SoundForge 4.5 and also a user called 'Deepz0ne' who happens to be one of the founders of an audio software cracking group called Radium."
Yup. I just checked. Someone at Microsoft used a pirated tool to create sound files for the official release of Windows. Oops!
