All those that are now crying "piracy" - msft should have done better
and release rtm to all folks, not only for "choosen stuff" aka
enterprise,msdn etc.
What's wrong to offer a pay per download. Not everone has needs for
physical media and shiny retail boxes at all .
And rethink the price-policy for vista than I am sure, there would not
be this problem at all or in fact, not so much as it is by now.
Take realistic 50 USD per HomeEdition Basic and all would be ok.
prices and release policies as by now will make vista and cracks the
most downlaoded files in the world. Realistic.

it is working perfectly in all ways, no matter what vista edition one has
running.
*****of course this only is working until summer, but anyway.
*****"viper" from the winbeta irc crew,the guy that leaked the x64 Version of RTM
to public and made the x86x64_rtm_winbeta-all_in_one_dvd.iso is also working
on ways of disabling spp protection all and forever.
will do.
Not a crack. It's just turning the rtm into evaluation period like the rc's all.you mean that Vista's NEW Technology in software >protection has been sucessfully cracked even >before it's official release date?
i've read another Chinese thread that people are working on >how to stop the clock inside Vista from working, so that >"times up" or "re-activation" never happened.

Mark Gillespie said:I would agree with this part, if Microsoft does want to seriously combat
piracy, sell direct without shiny boxes and pressed media and fat-cat
middlemen, pass ALL the savings onto the consumer.
Nobody wants to fight WGA, if Vista direct-download was priced realisticly
so MS made a reasonable price, and the tech savvy consumer saved a wedge,
they would simply buy it, and not bother with the risk and hassle of dodgy
cracks..
This has been my major gripe with MS, Vista is highly priced, but MS get a
pittance for it, as 4 levels of distributuion have to cream off the
profits... Sell direct.. Combat piracy...
