Pirates Find Proper Way to Crack Vista's Activation Schema

El_Oscuro writes "A genuine crack for Windows Vista has been released by pirate group Pantheon. The exploit allows a pirated, non-activated installation of Vista (Home Basic/Premium and Ultimate) to be properly activated and made fully-operational. 'It seems that Microsoft has allowed large OEMs like ASUS to ship their products with a pre-installed version of Vista that doesn't require product activation — apparently because end users would find it too inconvenient.'"

Who cares when Vista $uck$

[gabrieltss]

Who really cares when Vista sucks. It sucks so bad why would anyone even want to pirate it! I know a lady that bought a new HP laptop for school and I tried to tell here to not get a Vista one. I told her to press HP to give her one with XP on it. She didn't listen... She got it and HATED it! So she sent it back and now she is going to buy a MAC. One more person off of Windows!

Thank you Microsoft! Your doing our job for us!

There was a cheat code for LSL? OMG!!!

OMG! There was a way to work around the adult verification scheme? How many frustrating hours we spent trying to learn American pop culture based adult verification questions in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore back in the 1980s. BTW there used to be some kind of unix computer called Apollo that had a PC emulator and we used to play Leisure Suite Larry (in the land of lounge resorts) in that machine. Whatever happened to that company/computer?
