Windows Vista: Finally Cracked!
March 3rd, 2007
A group has finally been able to crack the Windows Vista activation scheme. And it is nothing like the ‘brute-force’ hoax that appeared two days ago!
I must admit though, I’m actually impressed by the fact that it took so long for a decent crack to surface. I guess all the developers in the windows team should feel really proud. I remember my friends were already downloading XP before it hit the shelves. It’s already been over 2 months since the Vista release and no one had been able to come up with a successful method for activating it.
Now the world’s most secure OS (the one that was claimed to be the holy grail for stopping software pirates) is just another piece of software that will be distributed via DVD-Rs, P2P, etc, etc. Not that it wasn’t being distributed already, but pirates had been unable to activate it until today and that was holding back a lot of people.
So, how did they do it? Let me quote…
