Windows Vista Keygen a Hoax

Thanks to dw2003 for submitting this to the Front Page.

KezNews forum member Computer User , quickly infamous for releasing his Brute Force Keygen to the world, has confessed the piece of software isn't all it was hyped up to be. " Fact is the brute force keygen is a joke, I never intended for it to work. I have never gotten it to work, everyone should stop using it! " This is quite a shocking statement for the simple reason that many have already reported that they have found keys which activate just fine. " Everyone who said they got a key a probably lying or mistaken! " Either the author of the program has decided he does not want to get in trouble, or he is genuinely telling the truth. In short, the generator does work, but it is a very impractical crack.

Ballmer: Pirates won't have it easy with Vista

Yesterday a Neowin member linked to a DIGG article that was sourcing this website with a screenshot of a supposed key generator for Windows Vista. Since last night it has been updated and the poster claims to of gotten hold of the keygen in a non-working state. Elaborate hoax or the real deal?

The screenshot lower on this page shows DLL errors when running the keygen and it clearly states on the web site that it didn't work. The crack appears to be of Russian origin and only time will tell if Microsoft's "dial in" feature really has been circumvented.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told Wall Street analysts that the company might "dial up" the intensity of antipiracy technology baked into Windows Vista as part of an effort to squeeze more revenue from China, India, Brazil, Russia and other emerging markets.

Ballmer's comments came during a conference call with financial analysts in which he repeatedly hammered home the theme that sales forecasts for Windows -- Vista in particular -- have been "overly optimistic."

One way Microsoft can bump up Windows sales is to tighten the screws on pirates, Ballmer said. "Piracy reduction can be a source of Windows revenue growth, and I think we'll make some piracy improvements this year."

"We have new technologies built into Windows Vista, something we call Windows Genuine Advantage we've really dialed up in capabilities with the Vista release," he said. "I do think that will bring some revenue growth. We will have strong growth in the Windows business in emerging markets: China, India, Brazil, Russia and many others. Those markets are very high piracy."

"We have seen record sales in enterprise agreements. We measure how many seats are assigned to licensing and how many Windows users we are getting," said Putt.

Symantec: Enterprise customers are "not yet comfortable with Vista"

"For the most part, we're not seeing it," said Enrique Salem, Symantec's chief operating officer, in an interview. Salem said most of Symantec's enterprise customers continue to run their systems on the older Windows XP operating system because "they're not yet comfortable with Vista."

No, XP.

The majority of respondents also indicated that the move to Vista will not be driven by any improvements the new OS offers, but rather by new hardware.

Windows Vista Enterprise Edition appears on Select

Microsoft appears to have published Office 2007 and Vista keys to Select licenced customers.

Along with the keys is a download entitled "Windows Vista Enterprise English Disk Kit MVL ISO CD". It's not quite clear what this is but since the download is 2641MB you can only assume it's Windows Vista Enterprise Edition. The download was published a few hours ago.

We are currently awaiting a response from Microsoft and will update shortly.

Update: Microsoft have now pulled the download but the keys remain. Updated with screenshot of what was. A Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed that Vista has not yet RTM'd but is unable to explain the odd appearance of Vista Enterprise.

If Not Vista Enterprise, Then What?

Microsoft's Vista Enterprise licensing changes mean some businesses will adopt something else. Could it be Linux? The answer is surprising. Microsoft made radical changes to Windows licensing with Vista. Businesses could buy earlier versions on new PCs or through volume licensing. The majority of businesses choose to buy through OEMs, which accounts for more than 80 percent of Windows client revenue.

With Vista, the Enterprise version can only be purchased through volume licensing and Software Assurance, which adds the price plus X to the software's cost. The potential cost increase is significant. On top of the license cost, "You'll pay at least $90 for SA on Vista for three years, plus you have to upgrade Vista Business on new machines to Enterprise edition, which takes extra time and money," said Paul DeGroot, lead desktop strategies analyst for Directions on Microsoft.

Report: One-third of businesses to begin Vista deployments by mid-2008

Forrester Research has issued a new study in which it predicts that at least one-third of enterprises will begin to deploy Windows Vista enterprise-wide by mid-2008.



Driving Vista adoption will be an increase in applications certified as Vista-compatible and new PC form factors which are ready to run Vista smoothly and at price points will make compatible machines more affordable than they are today, the Forrester researchers said in their How Windows Vista Will Shake Up The State Of The Enterprise Operating System report, released on November 12.



Forrester acknowledged that a number of businesses are waiting for Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 before starting their Vista deployment rollouts. But according to current schedule, Vista SP1 is set to roll out in the first calendar quarter of next year.
