PS3. It is nothing but a Joke. It is in powerful on paper but the system is fairly weak.

Anyways Sony is going have tough time when microsoft releases "Black XBox 360".

You wont say that if you knew that both machines are powerful in different ways. PS3 hardware is not crap.
Black box is a rumor , but a new xbox is definitely coming(color doesn't matter) with better cpu fabrication. New xbox will not be more powerful but will be cheaper for MS to produce. Sony on other hand is going to do the same thing and new version of PS3 is rumored to come out on 2008 .

What's the purpose of this release?


Bypassing the product activation requirement of Microsoft Windows Vista x86.


How does it work?


Microsoft allows large hardware manufacturers (e.g. ASUS, HP, Dell) to ship their products
containing a Windows Vista installation that does NOT require any kind of product activation as
this might be considered an unnecessary inconvenience for the end-user.
Instead these so-called 'Royalty OEMs' are granted the right to embed certain license information
into their hardware products, which can be validated by Windows Vista to make obtaining further
activation information (online or by phone) obsolete.
This mechanism is commonly referred to as 'SLP 2.0' ('system-locked pre-installation 2.0') and
consists of the following three key elements:

1. The OEM's hardware-embedded BIOS ACPI_SLIC information signed by Microsoft.

2. A certificate issued by Microsoft that corresponds to the specific ACPI_SLIC information.

The certificate is an XML file found on the OEM's installation/recovery media,
ususally called something like 'oemname.xrm-ms'.

3. A special type of product key that corresponds to the installed edition of Windows Vista.

This key can usually be obtained from some installation script found on the OEM's
installation/recovery media or directly from a pre-installed OEM system.

If all three elements match Windows Vista's licensing mechansim considers the given
installation a valid system-locked pre-activated copy (that does not require any
additional product activation procedures).

So the basic concept of the tool at hand is to present any given BIOS ACPI_SLIC information to Windows
Vista's licensing mechanism by means of a device driver.
In combination with a matching product key and OEM certificate this allows for rendering any system
practically indistinguishable from a legit pre-activated system shipped by the respective OEM.

Yea iam aware of the paradox :). Sony PS3 is seriously a joke. I do not think it will win this war.

Yeah brute force attack is quite strong. it does break & cracks become available easily but one needs a strong comp for that.
Why doesnt ms use 256 bit encoding for their activation keys?
they can use some kind of flash device which they may give to the buyers so that it generates some kind of a code to activate thier os.
they can bundle that device with thier installation cd.

Vista activation brute force keygen a hoax

The creator of the Vista brute force keygen has admitted that it doesn’t work, and that “everyone who said they got a key are probably lying or mistaken!” and that he’d like a job, and not a lawsuit


The man who cracked Vista, known as ‘Computer User’ at the KezNews.Com Forum, has admitted in a posting entitled “Brute force keygen a phoney” that the keygen doesn’t actually work, even as Microsoft are reported to be investigating the crack to see if it works or not.

‘Computer User’ said that “fact is the brute force keygen is a joke, i never intended for it to work. I have never gotten it to work, everyone should stop using it! everyone who said they got a key is probably lying or mistaken! i suggest everyone uses the 120 day 3x rearm method."

Some commenters at the site have said that the keygen may still work through sheer random luck, but would take a very long time. Some claim you might be lucky enough to chance upon a proper combination, giving some small hope that those who claimed success really did get a key, instead of just pretending they did for the kudos.

A few people seem to perhaps still be hoping against hope that the crack may work, despite some putting days into testing the crack without results, while others hope that the bogus crack might convince others to use the idea to create a version that actually does work as advertised.

Computer User says in the second page of comments that “i beleive the BFkeygen is the worst problem for M$ cause it steals genuine keys. which is why i have stopped all operations. and have created mass confusion”, to which a user called dragger replied: “dude it never worked... any real programmer could have told you. you have no math in it you just use random... with that method you can in theory always be wrong. Also you check for characters taht are banned from theirs. it was funny to see people think it worked.. but its just a matter of time be4 the pawns realize it'll never work... ps if it actually did work why wasn't any keys posted”.

The long and the short of it all is that the guerrilla war that is on between hackers and Microsoft over Vista’s activation and ‘Windows Genuine Advantage’ shows no signs of slowing down, with even the Chinese said to have developed a crack that does something to the BIOS and MBR to stop Windows Vista from activating.

It’s turning into a tit-for-tat war with non-genuine users at risk that Microsoft will be able to de-activate pirate versions without the pirates having enough time to create a fix before seeing a one hour browser session and nothing else.

So, how soon before the next Vista crack is announced, whether hoax or no? Only hackers working on it will know, but all hackers and pirates must know that this is the trickiest activation from Microsoft to crack yet, with the previous ‘blind eye to piracy’ unofficial (?) policy firmly wide open and restored to sight.

MS has to think about this piracy and cracking befor making a product

why not htey hire some gud crackers for making their products
