Your point is well taken, however I don’t think MS is concern about this. A few months ago they made a challenge to hackers for a reason, the more holes hackers can find, the better prepare MS will be when the final version hits consumers. It’s like hiring people to work for free; hackers do the work and MS fixes the bugs found. I’m sure MS is fully aware of the many walk-around tweaks that many of us have discovered or used on one time or another…unless their engineers are blind or don’t use the internet.

I don't think saying that this thread is a service is ture... "Your point is well taken, however I don’t think MS is concern about this.

If people didn't hack in 1st place there would be no prob, and alot the people who are using the tips here it are using them for their own uses (such as keeping RTM on). Sorry don't wanna be a downer but I though we outlawed this kina chat.
Sorry but I feel strongly and I am not trying to bother anyone. So

I wouldnt worry Josh... anyone who wishes to use a beta forever is welcome to... they wont get updates including service packs and security patches and will have an unstable, unsupported system. Don't worry about other people too much, just enjoy YOUR vista

Lol good points as my new saying says "My Vista is Your Vista" lol thats a joke BTW lol. I guess I should just relax a bit as anyone hacking a beta will be having a virus ridden system.

Where did this one come from? And, I don't understand what you do once you find the file. Edit it?
