Windows Vista Cracked; Now Really? 
And, now comes yet another report - which makes it all look - kind of like - 'the boy who cried wolf'.

A group that goes by the name, 'Paradox 2007' is claiming to have cracked Windows Vista's activation. They have posted the release program on a blog site, saying the purpose behind the program is to bypass Vista's product activation requirement (Vista x86).

Apparently, the group took advantage of Microsoft's licensing mechanism, wherein three important elements, including hardware-embedded BIOS information, a certificate by Microsoft that corresponds to the specific information, and a special type of product key that corresponds to the installed edition of Vista; have to match with Vista's licensing mechanism.

Actually, Microsoft grants manufacturers the right to embed certain license information into the hardware, which is referred to as 'SLP 2.0' (system-locked pre-installation 2.0)

As such, if all three elements mentioned above match Vista's licensing mechanism, the installation is considered as a valid system-locked pre-activated copy, and no additional activation procedures are required.

So, the basic idea behind Paradox's Vista cracking program is to present any given BIOS information to the licensing mechanism, by means of a device driver.

The group believes that the combination of a matching product key and OEM certificate will allow the program render any system practically identical to a legit pre-activated system shipped by the respective OEM.
