You talk shite - did you read the article?

You talk sh**te - did you read the article?

Your post was censored by MS. Mine wasn't. LOL!

Note that I made no comment whatsoever so the "talk" you're referring to
is not relevant and, yes, of course, I read the article. Do you have a
comment regarding the article or can you only provide us with your
insulting knee jerk reaction?

It's not been cracked at all. It's a brute force crack. In other words,
a program generates keys until one is found that works.

Quite how you think this is big news is beyond me.

IOW, a crack that works. What will be funny is when people buy Vista and
are told they don't have a genuine copy because the product key has been
used by a pirate. If we're lucky, it will happen to Steve Ballmer and you.

It's just the first crack. More will surely follow.

And? If you write down all 14 million combinations of 6 numbers from 1
to 49 one day, one of the combinations will be the one that wins the UK
lottery.

Why is it big news?

You're the one saying it's big news, not me. It's old news that Windows
is like a sieve and can be cracked and compromised from here to Sunday.
It *will* be big news to the hapless paying customer who happens to have
a Product Key that is already being used by a cracker.

It's not been cracked. It's had a thick shit approach taken to
generating keys.

When you find a real keygen (I mean an actual generator, not a
trial-and-error deal)
that can create a key-code that Microsoft's Activation servers accept as
genuine,
let us know. Until then, you've got nothing!

I didn't write the article or the program. I don't use cracked software.
Sooo, the appropriate pronoun would be "they" or "him".

1. This is old news.
2. I doubt that will happen. You can keygen XP and it wont authenticate. If
you keygen vista it wont authenticate. So if you enjoy your Vista in it's
"out of the box" state then knock yourself out! Or wait for cracked
patches.

A much better routine has been released earlier today. PARADOX a well known
group has created a "software" solution to the BIOS work around.

For the BIOS work around, search for "Gook Cracks Vista Protection !" in
this NG.

I apologize for having to repeat such language.

Instead of messing with your BIOS you now have a simple software solution
for the same procedure.

It would seem a very viable workaround has been found.

I don't know how old this thread is (it came to my attention when somebody
responded to this instead of another thread).
But here's what I don't understand: If someone can activate Vista without
buying it, why is that important to anyone other than MS and law
enforcement? Is the point being that you're not going to buy Vista because
someone else can steal it?
That would be like saying you won't buy groceries because there are
successful shoplifters.
