Windows Vista Keygen a Hoax

An anonymous reader writes "The author of the Windows Vista keygen that was reported yesterday has admitted that the program does not actually work. Here is the initial announcement of the original release of the keygen, and here is the followup post in which the same author acknowledges that the program is fake. Apparently, the keygen program does legitimately attack Windows Vista keys via brute force, but the chances of success are too low for this to be a practical method. Quote from the author: 'Everyone who said they got a key is probably lying or mistaken!'"

Key gen or not..

Windows Fista is not worth it, stick with what you have that works until they get it working and you actually MUST need it. I see no reason to install it.

Why Bother?

Stop spending so much time trying to crack a piece of crap. Your time would be better spent trying to break a version of Linux and reporting bugs.
Otherwise, just go to the zoo and see if you can count the turd peanuts in an elephant enclosure.

But brute force actually does work.

My software team of 665 programmers in Puna, India, has actually cracked the WV keys over 78,023 times. Get your key for Rs. 5,000 or US$ 30.00 on our site:

Check my (now deservedly marked troll) comment to the AC above - I open my box an awful lot. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Nobody here believes me because this is Slashdot, and if like me you deviate from the groupthink, you lose 'credibility'.

Believe me or not, and although my anecdotal evidence does not trump yours, it does invalidate any attempt to paint your experience as the general rule.
