Windows Vista fully cracked now - new crack enables proper activation

APC Mag reports Windows Vista has been fully cracked now by a pirate group called Pantheon. Their crack allows pirates to turn a non-activated installation of Windows Vista Home Basic/Premium and Ultimate into a properly activated and fully-operational version.

Unlike cracks which have been floating around since Vista RTM was released in late November, this crack doesn’t simply get around product activation with beta activation files or timestop cracks - it actually makes use of the activation process. It seems that Microsoft has allowed large OEMs like ASUS to ship their products with a pre-installed version of Vista that doesn’t require product activation – apparently because end users would find it too inconvenient.
