Microsoft Vista has been cracked

It was just released a few hours ago. Microsoft Vista has been cracked by the hacker group Pantheon.

This flaw will be close to impossible to fix as the exploit uses the fact that OEM versions do not require any activation process at all.

wahhhh... pity microsoft..

close to impossible to fix??? just wait, fights between microsoft vista team and hacker were just begin..

 

Maybe this is another HOAX VIRUS storie. But you can find more info about that "OEM Emulation process" here: http://www.apcmag.com/5512/pirate_crack_vista_oem_activation

 

Pantheon!, what a name for a hacker group, LOL

 

Actually the fix would be pretty easy from a technical standpoint, but socially unacceptable as there are many legit customers who bought the OEM version of Vista and which would be deprived from the product they bought.

This is why I think that this flaw is impossible to fix.

Because Ubuntu is Linux maybe ?

 

Vista has been cracked ? For real huh ... I thought MS had put a lot of work into Vista. Oh well, not surprising ... that's why I am not getting Vista just yet.

 

I don't think that Microsoft is able to make a Windows which is uncrackable...

 

yeah i think so too. hackers will always find a way.

 

^True that.

Yikes, much pity.

 

OEM versions do have activation - I have two copies and both needed activating.

 

I knew there was a reason I stayed away from Vista

 

Careful or they'll come after you.

 

This was just coming ... There were many workarounds flouting on the internet like the timer stop and 2099... but this seems to be more like the final nail in the coffin ...... or is it?

 

It was only a matter of time. Nothing is uncrackable.

 

True that.

 

Microsoft= Pwnt
1. Very low sales for Vista (around 60% lower than they expected during the launch)

2. Minutes after Vista was released, 6 months of protection programming was cracked.

3. Within days around 25+ different groups released different ways of cracking Vista protection.

4. No usable Nvidia/Ati driver yet.

5.Free Programs released on the web which converts XP nearly to vista(features wise)

6. Disappointing of Office 2007

= R.i.P Microsoft.

 

Poor Microsoft.

 

thts sad ..

i didn't upgrade to vista but i did get office 2007 for my xp which works nice ...

i just wanted them to release SP 2 for it ... but lets see what happens now

 

Now i'm using vista. I liked it. In my computer it's faster than xp. I established my hardwares, too many hardware company relased new drivers for that. It has too many options. I'm still using office 2003 with vista. All of my programs still working gr8. I stopped using xp after using vista. And I think don't listen everyone. Firstly try it and then decide it. I was thinking it will be bad before installing vista. but i saw the truth. Vista is the best
