Two Ways to Hack Microsoft Vista Operating System
,----[ Quote ]
| Ryan Opinion - I got a few search hits from people looking for Vista cracks:
| No I’m not going to give you any or tell you exactly how, so if you’re here
| for that go away. I just figured this would be a reason to write a little bit
| about what Product Activation and WGA do, what Microsoft has stated, and what
| they’ve actually done.
|
| Most Vista cracks are based on trying to fool Vista into thinking that you
| have an OEM license by loading a “System Locked Pre-installation” key into
| your BIOS or into the shadowed copy of your BIOS (where Vista actually
| checks).
