Microsoft closes in on Vista BIOS crack
Friday, April 13th, 2007
Emulating a special OEM BIOS marker offers way to bypass Vista’s anti-piracy. Microsoft is studying a BIOS hack that allows pirates 
to circumvent the anti-piracy features that are built into the Windows Vista. Reports about the crack started circulation online a few weeks ago. The method uses a feature that allows system builders to qualify new computers as licensed by inserting a short digital marker in the BIOS. Upon detection of this special marker, Windows XP and Vista bypass product activation and anti-piracy checks.
This OEM Activation programme is limited to large original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with which Microsoft has a direct relationship. Microsoft closes in on Vista BIOS crack - Security - www.itnews.com.au
