FCKGW
FCKGW are the first five characters of a volume license key that was commonly
used to bypass product activation in early versions of Microsoft's Windows XP
operating system. The key is obsolete, as it has been blacklisted by Microsoft
since August 2004. Despite this, it is regularly a symbol of warez geek pride -
dubbed the "devils0wn" key, this particular key came with the first warez
release of the final version of Windows XP. The version was supplied by a group
calling themselves "devils0wn" 35 days before the official retail release on
August 28, 2001. The key was made famous partly due to the fact that it featured
in a popular image circulated on the Internet before the retail launch of
Windows XP. In the image, the key is written on a CD-R containing the leaked
operating system and held in front of a digital Microsoft sign counting down the
days until the release of Windows XP.
YFKBB
YFKBB are the first five characters of the DVD key that was commonly used to
activate Windows Vista over illegitimate KMS servers. This key is also obsolete,
as it has been blacklisted, and victim computers will display a WGA
notification.
