Pirates Activate Copies of Vista Over Spoofed Server

Story & Discussion

I didn't see that one coming...

 

For now, this is only possible with Business versions
I guess that Ultimate´s crack will follow soon

 

As allways, for every lock there will be a key.

 

There goes $7 billion of security research.

 

Microsoft can't quite grasp the fact that whatever security humans come up with, other humans can break. Maybe not easily, but where there's a will, there's a way.

Still, if they're happy to squander billions in search of their "holy grail", who are we to complain? The only downside for us is when the security affects real customers with genuine software, which results in no reduction in piracy and genuine paying customers suffering inconvenience. That one fact is why I'm not intending to switch to Vista any time soon. Possibly never. And of course, that affects my recommendations to my clients, both private and business.
