Even with Vista SP1, Hackers Still Crack Windows Genuine Advantage
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 1.4.2008
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.
With the release of Windows Vista SP1, Microsoft has scrapped the Reduced Functionality Mode kill switch in its latest operating system. Users of pirated Vista, just as those of XP and Windows Server 2008 will only be informed of the fact that their operating system is no longer genuine. However, pirated versions of Windows are automatically blocked from downloading certain free applications as well as all updates except those labeled Critical. The WGA crack is designed to fix that.
"After the activation grace period has been exceeded the next logon will present the user with a message that directs the customer to activate that copy of Windows. That dialog includes a fifteen second delay before it can be dismissed. If they want to skip activation at that time they can wait for the fifteen seconds and choose "Activate Later"

i don't think server 2008 is cracked yet
i think i want to try the vista available here but i'm a picky person,think i'll stick
will xp2/3 for just a little bit longer or just use linux instead.vista isn't all that of
a hot babe anyways.
people here have said vistaloader works fine with sp1 installed.
does sp1
really help with gaming that much and is vloader enuff for sp1?
who do u think people is behind the cracks?? microsoft oes it for a long time. it is a
very clever act of microsoft. send a crack to the intenet and u have been many steps after
ur concurent... so is word and ms office won the game from worldperfect.. aand the game
goes on...
i never thought of it but i agree with alfa... i think microsoft does have something to
do with the cracks out there for vista...think about it...microsoft caters the those
willing to pay for the o/s and those that are not willing, either way, windows is still
running on your computer and they'll still dominate the market no matter what. if they
dominate the market then they'll still make money because there will always be people
that actually buy windows and you'll be ensuring that they're in demand.
vistaloader 2.2 works fine with vista sp1. it can be installed before or after applying
the patch from micro$oft. enjoy!
i am using the crack provided by mobile-latham.
