Windows "A genuine crack for Windows Vista has just been released by pirate group Pantheon, which allows a pirated, non-activated installation of Vista (Home Basic/Premium and Ultimate) to be properly activated and made fully-operational. 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."

I just wonder how many millions of dollars spent on developing Vista's activation protection have now just been wasted.

Same with AACS, execpt that's probably closer to Billions.

The cost of DRM is passed onto the consumer, but it has always proven to be completely wasted money.
