all i have to say is a big ughe lol
this first time i want download this, that this "keygen" is a trojan, but noone want
hear this
i really don't know why computer user is so scared now and how ms is scared him so
much???
maybae ms just won't to force people to forget about it,but the fact is that
this is the right way and soon or later someone will speed up algoritem and then the ms is
in deep trouble!
also ms don't care much about justice,becouse they must pay eu i
think every day milion,but so far they not pay anything!!!
well, you're wrong. this "keygen" is no trojan. it just doesn't work as advertised.
some included a tool to display the current key, which sometimes gave a false positive on
antivirus scanners..
but there is no trojan to be found in the vbs, or
whatever..
i swear i got a key but when i try to activate theres an error!!
kinda knew there was something amiss when in task manager i wasn't showing any network
activity.
network activity is not required, they keygen is attacking the systems embedded in al
vista installations.
worse keygen ever
anyway yea, it wasn't a trojan. it just read your cd key, and hence, having the
signature of a trojan ... aka accessing your key. the keygen isn't really a "keygen"
but rather a random macro. thats all/
dumb a$$ people
been of the forum for a month or so and my method still works 99%. also noticed a couple
of users using my name and posting comments..to these bogus users you are no worse than
the bogus keygen...just a matter of time before a full japenese crack is out...the word is
they have found a method
microsoft corrupted computer user!
well some ppl have found a working key, and the new added version works better than the
original.. i am sure it works but needs some work...it does have a trojan in it. if you
have time let it run.. more than 1 person has found a working key...
doesnt work anybody who says it does is wrong
even if you dont use a serial during install vista inserts its own trial key...this is
the key that the keygen finds. there is no server activity under task manager.
read the following and make up your own mind
it sounded too good to be true,
and it turns out it was. keznews forum frequenter "computer user" confessed last night
that his brute force keygen for windows vista is a scam. "fact is the brute force keygen
is a joke, i [sic] never intended for it to work. i have never gotten it to work, everyone
should stop using it! everyone who said they got a key a probably lying or mistaken!"
oddly enough, adrian kingsley-hughes of zd net, who we sourced the news from yesterday,
claims to have found two activation keys with this method, so it's hard to tell who to
believe: a confessing prankster, or a potentially duped but trusted source. for the
moment, we're going to go with computer user's word on this one, because the likelihood
that microsoft would issue enough keys to make a random key generator at all viable for
obtaining 25-character product keys is pretty dang slim.

you people who try to download keygens are idiots. learn the negatives of illegitimacy.
it will just end up costing us more anyways if it continues.
if ms think i am paying £300+ for ultimate they can kiss my ass.
this is why i
download keygens and will continue to do so. i use the softmod for vista though, because
it actually works unlike this random nonsense.
keygen "maybe" will come later on, we dont know actually.
i like muffins
several people have got a working cd-key with this.
someone just got scared
because of m$:s lawyers...
i think computer user is doing the right think :-)
ps i dont care if any1 says
something about what i said!
it sounds like the fellow who released the program is scared of the micro$oft giants that
might come after him.
he's doing everything he can to pretend it doesn't
work, when in fact it works fine.
even if his version is too slow to function,
a functional version can easily be made, using his idea.
:) - maybe m$
contacted him. muhaha!
computer user wait for the man in black in front your door!
uahuahuahuhauha
tic, tic.....
come on guys ...
stop all this and go to my digital life website and do the
bios modding and you won't regret it. i've tried mine and "woot" automatically
"activated". what can i say? i'm happy! thank to my digital life website you guys
owned! i swear guys you won't regreted. peace!
here is proof that it does work:

computer user admitted he's afraid of a ms lawsuit and prefers a job rather than that
which probably why he backout from this hullabaloo. nobody is going to confirm if the
keygen really works because they are all scared for a lawsuit. are you afraid of the nerdy
looking bill gates ? wahahahahaha
it is possible to get a key but you probably have a better chance of winning the lottery.
you have to run the program as administrator because you can't store the key except as
administrator. you can run the program from any folder. the program will change the key
if it finds a valid keyfor vista. it only checks about 1250 keys per hour so if you are
lucky you might find one in a couple of months.
this also only checks what
vista will accept ank not what m$ might have reserved. good luck because that is what you
will need.

win a lottery and buy one microsoft store is more
easy.
@computer user, you is right, no play with fire.
go out and delete all
mirrors u make.
suport microsoft and buy one ultima, one no, two.
other to me :p
btw, the video is fake, no have this pop up warn about the key...
only if it is
improved keygen hidden from m$.
sounds like a bunch of women in here fighting and argueing over nothing!!!! lol

yea, if ya can read that crap i don't know what language that is, but if you said alien,
i would believe you.
what happens when ms block your unpaid cd key... then you're back to where you started.
why not just stick with the timestop, and in my mind done nothing but stoped a counter on
your side. this timestope seem more harmfull to me. or? does vista opens up when applying
a real working key or what? i can use winupdate and that's just fine with me. and keep in
mind, you have not paid anything for it so just be happy to have a allmost fully working
system for free. :)
i'm using the timestop as a try-out until i have the money
to buy the real deal. i think it's time to start paying for windows now. now when they
have managed to make it useful. this is the best windows ever and now is the time to pay i
think.

this guy is an ms agent! giving shit about the other trick ms will disable soon...
so maybe basing on the idea of brute force some one will make a keygen but later...not now
he he he... me an agent... :)
that'll be the day! :)
or did you reply to
someone else....

4get my digtal crap, there site steals stuff from here! so we do the same to them, so
stop the ads with them digtal loser
omfg you morons it does work it just takes days for it to find a working one.

found this article on the web makes interesting reading
the numbers of vista's
brute force attack
microsoft
in view of the latest vista activation brute
force attack, i decided to take a look at the big numbers involved in this.
we
know the key length is 25. also, there are 24 possible combinations pr slot.
based on these numbers, there are 3 552 713 678 800 500 929 355 621 337 890 625 (25^24)
possible combinations. let's say there are 5 billion valid keys (keys microsoft has
printed/planning to sell). 25^24 / 5 billion = 710 542 735 760 100 185 871 124 chance of
hitting a valid key pr key tried. let's say you can try 480 000 keys pr day. that gives
you a one in 1 480 297 366 166 875 387 chance of hitting a valid key in 24 hours.
using these numbers, we know it will take 4 055 609 222 375 001 years, or 296 029
times longer than the estimated existence of the universe (from the big bang, 13,7 billion
years ago), just to find 1 valid key.
so why do people come up with working
keys?
quite simply, vista probably checks the key based on mathematical formulas. it
probably cant distinguish a generated key from a real one. microsoft's activation servers
however will be able to tell a generated key from a real one by crosschecking with the
sold-key list.
what does this mean?
it's pretty clear the keys generated
by the brute force attacks will almost certainly not come up with even one key identical
of the keys sold by microsoft. considering the fact microsoft almost certainly has a list
of keys it has sold and has the ability to block all others, the party is soon over.
the moment microsoft starts to check keys up against their list of sold keys,
activation of generated keys will be impossible.
conclusion
why this is
certainly not fun for microsoft, it has bigger worries, like the recently oem activation
cracks that exist out there, enabling users to activate vista without calling home to
microsoft.

nothing would be more satisfying than finding the holy grail of keygens. every os of ms
has been vulnerable in the past, i see no change with their new vista. it's only a matter
of time when we will able to finally see a workable keygen.
" are you afraid of the nerdy looking bill gates ?"
no, but i do
occasionally have nightmares about chairs being thrown at me.
i wondering how does the xpkeygen verse2 succed while it's too difficult to guess the
functions?
and i wondering how does the xpkeygen via brute force verse 1 is
quick [can be less than one hour] to get valid xp keys?
i hope those brilliant
keygener found the formula for vista
your all such fukin wierdos, sittin in front of your computer jackin off, talkin about
lawsuites and ms agents, fukin dumbass who said that, yeh your really gonna sue someone
who has no money. jackass
hey guys.
it looks like microsoft doesn't care about piracy unless it
involves trafficking.
so, i'm here to say, that i'm glad everyone got so
excited about the keygen. it was never promised to work imediately or t all for that
matter. i cannot confirm if the people who say it worked or not are lying or not. i'm
just a programmer not a pshycic. but, it great to see everyone is still trying this
method, even though it has been declared a hoax. its up to you whether or not you want to
try it.
things to note.
there is no virus. just the keyfinder
program gives false positives.
and
please stop posting info about
the oem emulated bios crack. everyone knows about it. the issue here is brute force.
i guess the idea is pretty much dead however. i see no body has posted anything in a
couple days.
well..i had a good run.
i must add that.
the keygen was never designed to be a way for people to crack
vista.
it was only an experiment to prove that it could be done. once enough people
confirmed it works i declared it a hoax so that people will forget about it cause it
really is useless, impracticle, and inefficient.
come on guy , think about the number of hours you will need to crack vista each time they
release a new wga.
spend 100$ on a full genuine oem version and you will save
so many hours of searching for a new crack/bypass .
or if you have so many
hours to waste on it please get a job !!
hi,dude
i need a office professional 2007 keygen.pls help me.
email
it to aditya_babu1996@rediffmail.com
buy for now.
since 70% of microsoft are of romanian ethnicity, they probably sent some thugs to squizz
his bzzls and hold him out the balcony. so now he's telling us it was a joke etc...
i already tried about 50 cracks and keygens and so on but no one worked like advertised.
this is a big game!
i developed one of the product key viewers that you can find on the internet, and because
of one of the other functions built into the program, i had to be in contact with
microsoft about a few things. microsoft doesn't block the "product key" from with
their w.g.a. program, or from the windows/microsoft update website. they use the
"product id" which is basically a variable that can be created by multiple "product
keys". so, not only are the chances of this keygen making a valid key very slim, but the
chances of that key not creating one of the invalid "product ids" is even less. not to
mention the fact that the method that windows is activated uses a hash made from different
parts of your computer, so the odds of the keygen creating a valid activation key have the
lowest chance yet. granted, it is not out of the realm of possibility, but it's like
trying to count how many stars there are in the sky. you could do it, but who in the hell
would waste the time, if they could live long enough to do it.
i took the challenge! i set myself a task and tried to achieve it.
i lubed myself up
well and sat half way on a double wide gigadong (google it) and started the keygen. i
swore i would not get off the 10 inch tall and 6 inch wide plug till i found a key. as the
hours passed by i found myself sliding further down the dong and it was becoming nearly
unbearable due to the pain of stretching but i promised to see it through. at last i hit
the bottom and the whole dong impaled me and i screamed in pain and needed to eject it.
luckily a few minutes later the keygen found a good key and i oozed out the plastic
monster. got a key at the price of a gape as big as the grand canyon!
i strongly believe in paying for something if you are going to use it.
i paid for
vista home premium.
had to change the motherboard 1 week later.
vista wants to
re-register, and in doing so tells me i need a new licence.
call support tell me i
have to buy a new licence if the motherboard changes.
gues what: i am now
looking for a crack, a hack, a working free copy etc.
microsoft has gon toooooo far
what say you???
