Is Faust’s name the devils0wn warez key for WinXP?

You’ll note on this entry in the comments that Faust signed his name as Faust W.H.B. Gertz. Look at those initials: FWHBG.

From Matt Haughey’s blog this morning, we learned about FCKGW. FCKGW, which is strangely similar to FWHBG, is the beginning of an apparently well known warez key for Windows XP. It is so well known that it has its own Wikipedia entry.

The stolen key was distributed by a group called devils0wn — which has a weird parallel to the name Faust. So is FWHBG some kind of code for unlocking Windows XP?

Now of course we’re just trying to connect the dots. But we’re left to ponder this some more.
