Cracked Windows "genuine Advantage" (news only)

When I was shocked when I saw this

MICROSOFT'S bid to refuse access to updated versions of Windows has been foiled by hackers.
The Vole had demanded that those who wanted Windows updates, other than security improvements, had to download an Active X program that sniffed their operating system to see if their OS had been pirated.

It took about 24 hours for hackers to come up with a solution involving IE script, the hackers claim.

If I am not wrong, Microsoft spent more than one year to build up this "Genuine Advantage".
How come the checking can be bypassed so easily??
They just spent 24hours on it only.
As I know their solution is one Java script statement only.

Personaly, i don't like the way that WGA did (forceusers to use).
