Ruvim writes "It has been mentioned in previous Slashdot discussions as
possibility, and now it became a reality: Information Week reports that
a spoofed server has been released that can be used to activate
Microsoft's Vista Enterprise versions. It is being made available on
several pirate Web sites and spoofs a Key Management Service server,
used to activate a large number of copies of Windows Vista in
enterprise environments." From the article: "Vista is the first version
of Windows that Microsoft requires volume license customers to
activate. Besides KMS, the Redmond, Wash. developer also offers
Multiple Activation Key, which resembles the retail version's
activation process. PCs activated using KMS must reactivate at least
once every six months. The MelindaGates hack uses a VMware image of a
KMS server to activate -- and keep activated -- a pirated edition of
Windows Vista Business. 'Looks like Windows Vista Volume Activation 2.0
is a big bust,' wrote a user identified as 'clank' on the PirateBay Web
site Friday. "
