----------------------------------- aiolos Sun 04 Mar, 2007 It's official: Pirates crack Vista at last ----------------------------------- 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. more : http://apcmag.com/5512/pirate_crack_vista_oem_activation ----------------------------------- pakigang Sun 04 Mar, 2007 Re: It's official: Pirates crack Vista at last ----------------------------------- Finally!, but I'm still not installing vista until sp1, very poor hardware support dude. ----------------------------------- aiolos Mon 05 Mar, 2007 Re: It's official: Pirates crack Vista at last ----------------------------------- I've installed vista on VMWare and Virtual PC and the crack works as described. I don't plan on installing the OS any time soon though. ----------------------------------- kap Tue 06 Mar, 2007 Re: It's official: Pirates crack Vista at last ----------------------------------- does the crack work on 64 bit computers or is it just 32 bit?? if so where can i find the 64 bit crack?? this sounds like a pretty cool crack ----------------------------------- aiolos Tue 06 Mar, 2007 Re: It's official: Pirates crack Vista at last ----------------------------------- I've seen this in a couple of places and there is no mention of 64. So I assume it's only for the 32-bit version. But I'm sure a 64-bit version will come out soon.
