Surprisingly, Microsoft has embedded into its new Vista operating system a feature that makes things easier than ever for true, mass software pirates. These tricksters will be able to produce thousands of Windows PCs machines that won't demand activation indefinitely — at least for a year or more.

that's great. Makes sense though. The ever lucrative corporate customers have to bend over backwards to make microsofts convoluted licensing work on a large scale. No doubt they had to put in a back door to keep them happy.
Microsoft should learn they can't have it both ways.

Ha, thats great!
That's actually 100 times easier then applying the DST time patch (which made me go "holy crap" and I never bothered)

Good to know. I was trying to find a 3rd party program with no luck. Another option was running windows update, but NO. I don't even want to enable that service and start having it download and install stuff without my control, such as that WGA thing. Specially not on a live server.
