Something i forgot, if any of you have noticed how hard apple has tried to enforce OSX being used on their own hardware, its still available damn near everywhere, and heres why:
Any software you write and print to an installation disc, can in fact, be taken off said disk, its code removed and altered, and put right back on the disc to install........
the OSX crackers have the right idea, you dont need to crack the OS AFTER its installed, you need to REMOVE the rediculously stupid aspects of the code entirely, before its even put on an installation disc, and hence if you play your cards right, vista wont even understand that it was supposed to be activated, nor will it understand that its not SUPPOSED to unlock that new HDDVD since you dont have a secured system, since you can very easily go the extra mile and literally emulate a TPM (assuming your tpm certificate isnt being verified every time you use it over the net to grab a movie key).
On both sides, i think the people who ARENT worried about vista are nearly delusional and arent learning from history (ms can change vista later very easy).
at the same time i think the people who assume vista will be cracked easily are also delusional, this is not going to be a simple thing, if you want to get ahead of the cat and mouse game you must literally kill the cat, or tie it up out back while you play out front, far away from the mousetraps:D
You know, perhaps none of you were paying attention to the recent windows media player update, that in truth updated WINDOWS itself (drm related, look it up).
If you people actually think that because you can crack vista NOW, or you can play your music NOW, that it will always be that way, i can guarantee you microsoft has worked very hard to ensure they can change nearly anything they want about the operating system in the future.
As we have seen recently, they are perfectly willing to introduce totally crippling updates without telling you about it in any way, and at that point every one of you who arent so worried right now will already have converted to vista because you werent worried....... how ironic........
