The fact that Microsoft has relaxed its antipiracy mechanism built into Windows Vista concomitantly with the release of Service Pack 1 failed to stop hackers from providing a crack for the latest version of Windows Genuine Advantage Validation. Various reports point out that Genuine Advantage Validation and Notifications versions 1.7.69.1 (1.7.0069.1) and 1.7.69.2 released in March 2008, following the March 18 availability of Windows Vista SP1 through Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center, have been cracked.

The workaround is designed to be integrated with pirated copies of Windows XP and Windows Vista in order to render useless the WGA Validation mechanism. According to the reports, applying the WGA crack will permit users of counterfeit versions of Windows to access and download items from Windows Update, Microsoft Download Center and Microsoft Update. The pirated operating systems with the cracked WGA will pass all validations on Microsoft's websites and offer anything from updates to applications that are restricted to users of genuine operating systems only.

haha that goes to show another failure with WGA. i find it useless. look at apple, they don't have activation and its $129. M$'s office is that price, vista is $239. no wonder they have hackers all over it its too expensive. if they would lower the price and cut down the editions i wouldn't have a problem, but they are money hogs and deserve it.

I think I'm going to start a petition to ban KaironXP from the Vista forum... He/she is getting on my last nerve with this 'I hate Vista and so should you' thing.

Yes, Microsoft is wasting time and money trying to give "legal" software, Hackers are soo inteligent, they always find the way to bypass microsoft validation.

many people is using microsoft software because it possible testing without buying :D

Why do you even come into the Vista forum?

1. You know nothing about Vista.
2. You obviously know nothing about SP1, or service packs in general. SP1 has some nice fixes in it, especially the file copy bug. Microsoft has also made it clear that service packs are not for new features. Also, each fix that comes out after a service pack is scheduled to be in the next service pack. So DUH, yeah they are working on SP2!!!
