I really think that this is funny. I want to know what software can bypass the product activation and interfere with “normal” Windows operation? Bypassing Windows product activation is a wrong wrong thing to do. Microsoft reserves the right to dub their customers as software pirates.

I picked up Time Capsule on Friday at the Apple Store while my friend is still waiting for his pre-order to arrive. Take that Vondiggity!
I bought the 500GB version because:
Time Capsule comes with AirPort Utility 5.3 for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista. Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard AirPort utility has version 5.2.2 included.
The Time Capsule I have is using Seagate Barracuda® ES SATA 3.0Gb/s 500-GB Hard Drive, model number ST3500630NS.
From Seagate:
The Seagate® Barracuda® ES enterprise hard drive is the industry’s most reliable, highest capacity 7200-RPM hard drive for 24 x 7, multidrive, business-critical applications. The Barracuda ES hard drive is built with perpendicular recording technology for maximum capacity, reliability and cost-effectiveness.
The Unofficial Apple Weblog reported that one user’s 1 TeraByte Time Capsule is equipped with HITACHI Deskstar 7K1000 HDS721010KLA330 (full tech specs here in pdf format).
From Hitachi:
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000
Applications
- Internal and external storage for consumer
- computers
- Networked storage servers
- Extreme gaming machines
- Video editing arrays
Is it possible that the 500GB model has a better hard drive, or there are a lot more variations on the installed hard drive models?
UPDATE:
The highest capacity for Seagate Barracuda ES is 750GB. Meanwhile, Seagate Barracuda ES.2 is available in capacity up to 1 TeraByte.
