Well, Windows Vista Activation has been cracked again.  This time, instead of using a vmware image with the validation server on it to revalidate when Vista wants it, there’s a crack to make Vista never want to revalidate.

• The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista edition such as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64) environment is likely to be low.
• The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200 minutes (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
• It’s possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with default product key (no product key entered when installation).
• During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Windows Vista, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest flexibility for users to install required drivers and application during this period, so Vista won’t prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack, Vista OS will always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not be any watermark or reminder to activate.
• It’s possible to pass Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) validation, so users able to download Microsoft value-added software for genuine customers.
• As mentioned above, as Vista will also remain in first 3 days of activation grace period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is the newly installed system, or who is the ‘patched’ system, unless of course, they check for the specific file or system (privacy anyone?).
• Users can only view that there is 30 more days for system to be activated in the system properties, but it won’t affect system usage or installation method.
