Windows Vista Ultimate For $3.50

Microsoft’s Windows Vista has not launched yet, but Thailand’s software pirates already made it to the stores. We all know that a genuine copy of Window Vista Ultimate would sell for nothing less than $400, but they are giving it for mere $3.50

Thai police regularly raid such stores, but these DVDs are burner on the spot and they have good contacts within the police department, so they get warnings about these raids well in advance. Customers will have to order the copy and wait for around 10 – 15 minutes for the freshly burner copies to arrive. These copies of Vista Ultimate don’t have no product key nor activation is required, but before attempting to install it, you should set your BIOS date to 2099.  

Well, its so easy to bypass, you don’t even need a crack. Setting the clock to 2099 will spoof Vista’s trail period of 14 days and will continue to work for another 93 years. I think Microsoft needs to work more over the security aspects of Vista.

    Well, they will never completely stop piracy imo, so really its just another everyday thing for them to fix.
