A user has found away to make Microsoft’s authentication for Genuine Windows work by using a copy of Xubuntu.

He downloaded the application instead of testing it online to test the authentication since IE4Linux does not support Active X technology. When he ran the program, he received a code. Then he pasted this code in the authentication box. It verified correctly and it forwarded him to a webpage where he can download Windows Defender which was the program that he wanted on Xubuntu.

A video is available on rapidshare and it shows how he did it. The link is located on theinquirer.net’s article.
