Regarding Vista SP1 and OEM Vista

I heard that Vista SP1 will block OEM pirates, can someone confirm this?
Some people (especially those PC users in China), modify the BIOS of their
motherboards and add SLIC to them in order to get a perfect working OEM
Vista.

The very first Chinese forum that focus on OEM Vista hack
This forum also provides huge downloads of OEM Vista and digital license for
brand like SONY, HP, Asus, Lenovo, IBM etc

It seems to me that this OEM trick has been extended to the West as well.
Now available in English language forum

SP-1 is not even in Beta so there is no definitive answer available.

Whether it blocks pirates is really irrelevant to the honest people.
And if it blocks pirates, that is not a problem for anyone.

But then you already know that...

Well, it's a relief to know that the whole of China isn't using my product
key.
