Your "friend" *cough* may (or may not) be careful, but I for one see a major problem...

After keying in the code, there was a "Thank You For Purchasing..." pop-up, and then the pic viewer was able to run like normal. However when he closed and exit the program, the whole ppc suddenly just went blank and needing a hard reset. He repeated the installation after the hard reset and yield the same end-result!

Hardly proof that Resco Explorer contains malicious code, especially if an examination of the binaries didn't reveal anything suspicious. I wouldn't go making accusations that infer that Resco is utilizing malicious code to thwart piracy, thereby questioning their reputation, especially seeing that it's with anecdotal evidence from someone who by their own admission is not a legitimate licensee.
I on the other hand am a legitimate Resco Explorer and Viewer (for Palm OS) user, and in my experience they make quality products and have excellent customer support.
I'm disappointed to see someone (with only 4 posts I might add) openly discussing on these boards the use of pirated/cracked software (by a "friend") and spreading unsubstantiated (and with flimsy "evidence" at best) allegations that could possibly harm a very well respected software developer.
Is it possible to "subtract" Karma?
