Is Windows Vista uncrackable?

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

Almost as soon as Vista RTM was released, and well before it was available for download by MSDN Direct_X_10.jpgsubscribers, pirates had it up and available for download.

The pirated copy, released by a group called BillGates, wasn’t a true cracked version. Instead, it used activation files from the pre-RTM releases, enabling pirates to use older product keys to activate the OS.

The main anti-piracy feature, mandatory activation, was actually still intact.

Two weeks have passed since then, and although every single official version of Vista (and Office 2007) has made it onto the pirate boards, no group has stepped forward to claim success with a crack to bypass activation. Is Windows Vista uncrackable? | APC Magazine
