Ok, so it wasn't cracked. But still, without having a way to verify that the code is the same code that Microsoft released, I still argue that it was a bad idea to install it on a bank computer.
What do you mean by "HEVs in a battery storage"? It doesn't seem to make sense.
Here is some data:
Civic Hybrid (manual transmission, ULEV spec):
Fuel Economy: 46 mpg city / 51 mpg highway
Tank Volume: 13.2 gal
Vehicle Weight: 2675 lbf
Max Power: 93 hp @ 5700 RPM
Max Torque: 116 ft lbf @ 1500 RPM
MSRP: $19,650
Civic LX Sedan:
Fuel Economy: 32 mpg city / 38 mpg highway
Tank Volume: 13.2 gal
Vehicle Weight: 2560 lbf
Max Power: 115 hp @ 6100 RPM
Max Torque: 110 ft lbf @ 4500 RPM
MSRP: $15360
These cars are comparable in acceleration and weight, probably having a close hauling energy index.
Assuming the average civic travels 13000 miles per year and that the price of gas stays constant at $1.74/gal, I calculate that the Civic Hybrid will save its owner the difference in price between it and the LX in 22.9897 years...

Assuming everything you said was true, you win. BTW, this is Slashdot circa 2k5, shouldn't you expect immature and petty?

What about installing cracked software on a bank's computer? That seems like bulk stupidity to me...
