Microsoft also uses software ... illegally?

Online magazine Techrepublic believes it has found evidence that the software giant sneaked out a "stolen" wav file in Windows XP.

With specialized software and tools, hackers have entered the Wav file area inside the XP operating system and in the Windows Help area, they have found 9 WAV files that provide background audio for Windows Media Player Tour.

When opening these files in notepad, the hacker detected a form of watermarking, recording the software name used by Microsoft engineers to create WAV files.

And in astonishment (mixed with delight) of the hacker, the text is as follows: " LISTB INFOICRD 2000-04-06 IENG Deepz0ne ISFT Sound Forge 4.5 "

This means that Microsoft used Sony's Sound Forge 4.5 software to create the above WAV files. However, according to Techrepublicans, the word "DeepzOne" appears in this context quite odd and may contain some secret.

Finally, Techrepublicans discovered that DeepzOne is the co-founder of Radium, a group specializing in unlocking music software founded in 1997. One of DeepzOne's "illustrious" achievements is his work. has released the unlocked version of Sound Forge 4.5 to the Internet.

And apparently at Microsoft, someone used this unlocked version of the software to create Wave files for Windows Media Player. What else can Steve Ballmer comment on?
