Download Vista Using BitTorrent

Pirated Vista version seen on torrent websites

Well, folks, Vista has heard the sound of inevitability. It's out! And, of course, not only for sale (you already know that, you don't need me telling it again), but out on the torrent file sharing network. The final version of Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows Vista, was first seen yesterday on several important torrent websites. All users confirmed that the version listed was indeed 6.0.6000, the official RTM Vista
version.

First, a temporary solution arose: a short command that gives you the possibility to easily extend the activation period to 60 days. Everybody thought two months would be more than enough for someone to find a better workaround, but they were wrong... One day was enough! Soon after the release of this temporary crack, a much more effective one saw the light of day.

This crack uses files from the RC2 Vista version and enables you to activate Vista using your old RC1/RC2 serial number. If you haven't already started looking in the Recycle Bin for it, allow me to state that even this crack doesn't seem to get the job done. After being cracked this way, the pirated version of Windows Vista will run only until the end of June 2007.

That's about all you'll hear from us. We're very sorry (or not) for those of you who hoped to find a link in this article to a website providing illegal copies of Windows Vista or a detailed 'manual' on how to crack it. This article is purely informative, Softpedia encourages its users to buy Windows and never use pirated software. You can find out more about Vista prices here.
