Vista Cracked By Pirates

A genuine crack for Windows Vista has just been released by pirate group Pantheon, which allows a pirated, non-activated installation of Vista (Home Basic/Premium and Ultimate) to be properly activated and made fully-operational.
Unlike cracks which have been floating around since Vista RTM was released in late November, this crack doesn’t simply get around product activation with beta activation files or timestop cracks – it actually makes use of the activation process. 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.

Interesting news.
But does anyone want it?

    Conspiracy. Microsoft needs Vista to have a larger user base but doesn’t want to upset its shareholders by offering free copies. Microsoft will become obsolete if people don’t update to Vista. Microsoft killed Netscape by offering Explorer for free, now they may suffer the same fate as more people see Linux as an alternative. The only thing separating the two is hardware support and software catalog.
