UltraPatient? Crack Vista!

The news has finally arrived, with Microsoft claiming high regards for its new Vista activation feature, this news has sure been a surprise.

With not yet again, people desperate to prove Microsoft wrong, a user proved Vista activation was vulnerable to Brute Force Attacks.
As quoted by PC world magazine
"A user can apparently crack Windows Vista's activation process by applying brute force to come up with valid product keys"
The news caught fire when a website posted a tool yesterday, which actually claimed to work. However its not so easy as it seems. It did apply BruteForce which they claim to extend to billions of years...umm yeah you heard it right (I wonder if nyone would be using it dat long hehehe), even after validating 20000 keys an hour.

So What does Microsoft say about it?
Microsoft's Kochis also downplayed the threat. "Our product activation servers perform a more rigorous analysis of the keys that are sent up for activation than the local key logic does," he said. "Producing keys that will ultimately activate is less likely than just hitting upon one that will pass the local logic."
