Microsoft allows bypass of Vista activation
Microsoft has built into Vista a function that allows anyone to extend the operating system's activation deadline not just three times, but many times. The same one-line command that postpones Vista's activation deadline to 120 days can be used an indefinite number of times by first changing a Registry key from 0 to 1.

21.04.2009Microsoft Launches All-in-One PC Care for Home and Small Business Networks
Todays families increasingly have more than one PC at home, and with Microsoft internal data suggesting the average U.S. household now owns
approximately 2.5 PCs, households and small businesses have a strong need to simplify the way they provide security and care for all of their PCs.
With increased mobility and the rise of the home computer network, ensuring a stable, secure computing experience has become more complex, yet
important as ever before.
To address this complexity, Microsoft introduced Windows Live OneCare, one of the first software
products to provide a comprehensive PC care solution. Today, Microsoft announced the next version of Windows Live OneCare, which provides even greater
security for home or small offices, and delivers features that make it easy to back up data and manage multiple PCs.

easier way to manage their computers and protect their information.

16.11.2007Microsoft Releases WGA Bypass Tool to OEMs
With the introduction of
Windows Genuine Advantage
(WGA), a computer must be
validated as genuine prior to
receiving security patches
from Windows Update. Windows
must first be activated for
the validation tool to run,
however most system builders
do not activate computers on
behalf of the end user. This
poses a problem for system
builders who want to sell
systems pre-patched with
updates but not enable
automatic updates.
The
System
Builder Bypass tool
(sbbypass.exe) will allow
system builders to download
and install critical updates
on new PCs without the
requirement to activate or
validate. Download the System
Builder Bypass tool. Need to
be member of OEM system
builder site.
The
System Builder Bypass tool is
to be used to assist system
builders with building a new
PC, and thus requires sysprep
to be running in factory mode.
An internet connection is
required to download critical
updates.

18.07.2006Microsoft warns of latest Windows Live Hotmail phishing scam
Microsoft is warning Windows Live Hotmail users of a recent phishing scam that asks for the person's username, password, date of birth, and country
or territory. It's not clear why the software giant has taken the time to warn users of this particular phishing scam, as this definitely isn't the
first Microsoft- or Hotmail-related one. Hopefully, it has nothing to do with its success rate, but it's likely due to the fact that the e-mail
claims it is from the Windows Live Hotmail team, both in the signature and at the start: "This Email is from Hotmail Customer Care and we are sending
it to every Hotmail Email User Accounts Owner for safety."

11.01.200864 Bit Systems And The New Live Installer: A Solution
It has been discovered since the launch of the Live Installer yesterday that there is an apparent bug that prevents it from being installed on 64 bit
systems. Now the programs themselves will run on x64 systems, it's the installer itself where the problem lies.
If you are
running a x64 system and want to try the new Live builds, there are three suggestions:
- Use the Hex editor hack found at http://www.anti-tgtsoft.com/?p=14
- If you know someone
who has installed the WL Suite, give them the instructions below to get the installers;
- If you have access to an x86 machine yourself, download
them and get the files yourself.
To access the files, do the following:
- Go to
C:WindowsSystem32configsystemprofileAppDataLocalWindowsLiveInstallerMsiSources
- In that folder are all the msi installers for
the products you selected to install, we just have to work out which one is which. Fortunately, we can:
Windows Live Writer
Install_{1F973A7F-3FE4-4D11-A9A2-E869C2899A7D}.msi
Windows Live Messenger
Install_{508CE775-4BA4-4748-82DF-FE28DA9F03B0}.msi
Windows
Live Sign-In Assistant
Install_{CB5EA99C-8A5B-49F2-9A1A-2EF78BE4DB41}.msi
Windows Live Mail
Install_{EDB619FD-4E71-403C-8E99-DFC9CF9DD345}.msi
Windows Live Toolbar
Install_{C6876FE6-A314-4628-B0D7-F3EE5E35C4B4}.msi
Windows
Live Photo Gallery
Install_{AA436FBD-2595-479B-8DDE-E9C36F50D99D}.msi
Running those on the x64 system should bypass the x64 check and
they should install for you fine.
