Trusting Microsoft: Not Going to Happen
Author:  Matt Hartley
Date:  Wednesday, 21 March 2007

Microsoft just kills me sometimes. It's like they live in a Bat cave.
I have seen convincing evidence first hand that the hack (tool), known
as Paradox, does in fact, allow a user to bypass product activation
with Windows Vista.
[...]
It was shocking at how easily I found the tool with the complete
instructions on how an average person might go about bypassing Vista
activation using Paradox. Because I consider linking to the exact
website criminal, I will simply link to the Google search results so
that the ease in which I discovered this information can be _properly
illustrated_.

Here is where it gets interesting. How oblivious is Microsoft to this
problem? So much so that the same blog that gave me the tool and full
instructions comes up under Microsoft's Live Search as well.
