It's a command built in, by Microsoft, that any user can access. I mean, if it allowed you to extend it indefinitely then I imagine it would be against their EULA, but you can only run the command three times before it stops working. It's obviously intentional.

It's a hack and I would say definitely illegal,if it were legal it would be included in the EULA,not hidden. there are lots of hacks and cracks available none of them I've come across are legal.

No it isn't. It's built into all versions of Windows 7, whether you get an OEM or Retail license and whether it comes installed by a manufacturer or by yourself. They wouldn't have put the command in if they didn't want it to be used.

Thing is not all command prompts are legal or authorised by microsoft.Illegal hacks can be executed through command prompt.One classic example is the command prompts which can be used to bypass or change user account passwords.

Unless you're running your own program in CMD then all the commands in it are usable by design by Microsoft. By the "illegal hack" you've stated there, I assume you're on about the 'net user <username> <password>' command, which is just as legal to use as any other command.
Being on a university course named Ethical Hacking, I know a bit about tech law in the UK (and US) and where and how it applies.

Just done a bit more research on it and it would appear you are correct,although obviously it would be illegal to use the password hack on someone else's computer without their permission.
Lol,I'm really having a bad night.:(

That's true, but in the same way it's illegal to run any command on another person's computer system without authorisation. Btw, doing it without permission is what makes it a hack - if you're doing it on your own PC it's just a handy command for changing your password. When you're doing it yourself it's not a hack :p

Mine is "awaiting dispatch" since yesterday morning and it says there that if it reaches this status before 3pm, it will be dispatched the same day.. And now it's the second day and it's still "awaiting dispatch" :(((

That's a shame mate, two things though; It will probably say something like if it reaches this status before 3pm it is usually dispatched the same day. Also, there is a (smaller) chance it was dispatched yesterday and they have not updated your status yet (this is unlikely though as you'd normally get an update from DPD regarding delivery by the end of the day of dispatch).

Still, chin up - it will be dispatched ASAP and delivered very quickly!

No. I ordered the fast track service (5 working days) because i need it fast but I'm just surprised that it took 2 and a half working days for all the other phases (pre-production, building, testing, QC etc. ) and now already a day and a half in "awaiting dispatch" :(

Well PCS only dispatch once a day (from reading other posts I think thats how it works anyway), maybe your rig just missed the delivery slot yesterday? Either way it should be dispatched today and you should get it Thursday/Friday :)

It is also possible that the DPD van couldn't take everything they had to dispatch so had to wait til today for dispatch, but I'm just speculating at this point.
