The other day, techPowerUp! reported on a keygen for Windows Vista which supposedly allowed users to (illegally) generate activation codes for use with Vista which could fool the activation. However, the creator of this brute force keygen, known simply as "Computer User" on the KezNews forums, is himself admitting that the keygen was a joke and he's never gotten it to work, saying "everyone who said they got a key a probably lying or mistaken!" There have been some reports of success, and although there is a slight chance the keygen could work, the chances of actually generating a working code are slim - it would probably take days if you got one at all. So it looks like he's either worried about action from Microsoft and pretending it doesn't work, or it genuinely is a fake.Via: Slashdot
