Rebel=UK= Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Iranian hackers crack Windows Vista, sell it on street for $8 a copyAll the effort Microsoft has put into making sure this Windows would be the most secure ever appear to be somewhat in vain. Iranian hackers, operating through a legitimate software firm, have gotten past all of Microsoft's "anti-copying tricks". These hackers claim they will sell these illegitimate copies of Windows Vista through the firm they work for at approximately $8 USD a copy. What's really interesting, though, is how they managed to give each pirated copy of Vista it's own serial number, so that they can register it through Microsoft as a legal copy of Windows Vista.Source: http://www.taliyanews.com/en/archive/2007/...sess_window.phphttp://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=24974id buy a few :) for £4 a copy :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 You gotta believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy to swallow this story.The hackers might eventually cobble together a crippled version of Vista - but to get it registered with Microsoft is pure fantasy.
