There is nothing in this article that refers to Vista as SP3.

Also nothing in this article that refers to Vista as SP3.

Yet you seem unable to actually post links to any of them, which is odd
considering that you post links to anything your addled mind finds some way
to connect.

Actually, no. The "patch" doesn't remove the need to activate, it simply
resets the 30 day window. A simple registry change.
You need to activate Vista to get access to Windows update, download any of
the planned enhancement packs or updates, or use Windows Defender.

Vista isn't particularly useful without activation. The activation reset
patch will be more annoying to the pirates. I expect a real crack will
come soon, though. Anything the CPU can read, so can a human, and patch.
