Yeah . . . no reason to worry about those spiffy, hacker-proof security features of Vista now is there?

It's a clever workaround of Vista's activation feature but Vista itself remains uncracked. In this instance Vista still has to be installed with a KMS product key, so if that activated system ever goes through the WGA system with a known pirated key, Microsoft will be able to track it down and eventually close the loop. Also, since this is a true KMS server the activation is only good for 180 days, then the client needs re-activation.

I was reading the flaming about Vista and damn! I know it was a couple of months ago, but y'all were treating the betas like they were actual releases! And a lot of it wasn't true!
