There's a beta out. It *could* be that so you could bypass that authentication/verification crap.

And on a side note, this is old news. :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Because it got leaked, everybody's using it.  Because everybody's using it, Microsoft's software becomes slightly more used.  I think that Microsoft benefits in the long run.

Exactly.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Do you think this could be on purpose?

Possibly, but probably not.  I honestly don't think they mind much, though.  If they did, they'd give it a CD key or something.

Although the leak wasn't intentional, it is good advertising for them. It works for them either way and since WMP is free there is really no money loss. Win-Win.
