Interesting - the Brute Force KeyGen only managed to get 1 valid activation code in 5 for one tester. If I understand this correctly, you must wreck 4 copies of Vista in order to get a free (and very illegal) activation code for 1. Can someone explain where this makes any sense?

There is a different method out now too, fully working. I will not post any information here on where to obtain it or how it actually works. It involves BIOS emulation is all I will say, but it fully works all of the time.
