Cool Windows Vista Cracked By Paradox 2007


Firstly we have a fake keygen reported by KezNews. Now apparently this is for real, a crack from Paradox 2007 using the BIOS Emulation Toolkit For Windows Vista x86.
So the basic concept of the tool at hand is to present any given BIOS ACPI_SLIC information to Windows Vista's licensing mechanism by means of a device driver. In combination with a matching product key and OEM certificate this allows for rendering any system practically indistinguishable from a legit pre-activated system shipped by the respective OEM.

prices will not be reduced till aug 2007, may increase due to some VAT conditions, Windows Vista will be available with low pricing in 2008 only , not before that...(in my view)

I would rather call this Vista Activation Bypass than calling it a crack!! He is not cracking any of the files, he is only bypassing the Activation requirement.

Although i believe MS can easily counter this with a version of VGA which will also look for the device driver and report the installation as pirated

And it wud report the genuine users as pirated as well. If u read that read me it states, it won be activated unless all the three things match together. So it wud match for the genuine users as well as the counterfieted editions.

Were you replying to me?
Why would Genuine Customers be flagged of as pirated? VGA can support multiple detections and methods. Since this OEM patch is generally gonna be pretty famous i guess, so for every OEM activated windows, it can check for this driver and make out the pirated copy. Genuine customers would not have this driver on theri windows.

Yes, if genuine users dont have this driver, what do you think that paradox wrote the drivers himself to emulate, it is just one exe which he has written.

Ya and MS will certainly remove other checks.

Well. It was bound to happen. There is nothing you can do about it. Even if you do not post it will be known by other methods.

The point of crack is not for updates. It is to prove that Vista is not a secured and the anti-piracy was not successful.

The update can be downloaded to various means.

Even Hardware protection can be cracked . I did not understand when you said "hardware protection like in audio apps".
