Pirates say Happy New Year to Microsoft
It seems the Newest version of Vista (http://www.vistababble.com/forums/vi..._-buy-key.html) & SP1 and XP with SP3 installed has been cracked.

LINK NOT POSTED JUST THE INFO.

The group Eth0 has released a new version of their crack for Windows Genuine Advantage Validation today. This new release updates several WGA files with patched versions so that every Windows system, even those that are not legit, can use Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center with all options. That means that non-legit Microsoft operating systems will appear to be legit to Microsoft.

The release is entitled Windows.Genuine.Advantage.Validation.v1.7.59.1.UPD ATED.CRACKED-ETH0 and you can find it on any major P2P website and Usenet.

Four files are included in the release plus a nfo file that explains how to patch your system. The files are installer.bat, LegitCheckControl.dll, WgaLogon.dll and WgaTray.exe. Users who simply want to install the new patch can run installer.bat which will do everything that is necessary.

.It comes with two switches though that might be interesting. The switch /u uninstalls the patch while the /c switch cleans up old patched files on the system. This is great if you want to revert back to the normal system without the patched files

Very interesting switch. Now to ponder Why? The switch /u uninstalls the patch while the /c switch cleans up old patched files.
