Vista SP1 still vulnerable to activation hacks

Engadget: “Oops. One of the Microsoft’s big goals in releasing Vista SP1 is the closure of a pair of known Vista activation exploits. While the OEM BIOS hack and grace timer hacks are now indeed now useless in the face of SP1, a third remains. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes over at ZDNet
tracked down a hack that required “a few seconds in the command prompt”
to trick Vista SP1 into thinking it was genuine. Now that SP1 is riding the torrents, we can’t say we’re surprised.”
