Microsoft COFEE – Leaked and way over-hyped…

Written by geekE Management | Published on November 7, 2009
Torrents of Microsoft COFEE have been springing up everywhere and the hype is ridiculous.  Obviously, it’s illegal to pirate software.  Furthermore, the EULA for this particular software is limits it’s use to law enforcement officials only.  Other than that, most everything else you’ve heard about this stuff is false.
