    ms has managed to curb pirated editions of vista somewhat. xp remains more popular around in my experience.

    maybe its becoz vista is not that good. we would know with win 7... its turning out to be an excellent product. would it become popular amongst pirates?

    uxtheme patch is for using unsigned themes.

    for WGA u need other hacked files namely wgatray.exe, wgalogon.dll and legitcheckcontrol.dll

    further OGA (office) needs patched ogacheckcontrol.dll

    and yes dont ask me for links or flame me down

    microsoft has largely avoided targeting home customers. they do raid PC assemblers. my hardware guy was once caught and was penalized... but they stay clear of targeting home customers.

    i doubt they are changing anything for the previous OSs. it is probably win7 only.
