The folks over at Engadget have come across another exploit that allows users to permanently activate Windows Vista using crack files and some registry trickery. The TimeStop Vista cracks only works on 32-bit versions of Windows Vista, so those looking to crack 64-bit versions of the operating system may be out of luck.
Of course this crack is made available for “informational” purposes only. What it essentially does is trick the OS into thinking there is always 30 days left before activation. It’s sad that even before Vista is made available to the general public, this becomes available. I admit I am not against this though. Activating is nothing but a pain, especially when you redo your computer as often as I do.
