OK...this is where it becomes most ludicrous. "Try to crack our system any
way you can, EXCEPT by using methods 'A', 'B', 'D'-through-'G', or 'P'". 

Is this a real cracking test or a McDonald's-style publicity competition???
I'm sure it'll look good on the sales guff at release time, "Win2K: proven
unbeatable by the hackers and crackers of the Internet..."
