It's a shame, but as long as M$ continues to make an OS software and charge for it, there will always be those that are already working on cracking it. And it's fair to say that the cracking attempts were being worked on while it was in beta stage.
I'll give it a week or so, and then anyone will be able to download Vista, along with the Key Cracker/Generator and activate it, all for FREE.
Soon, many people who have paid for theirs are going to feel like they should have either waited or simply never bought it. Me, myself, I never buy an OS when it first comes out. It's too risky to do so, and once again, I feel I'm right again.
Oh Well..

It just goes to show it does not matter how secure you make it there is only a matter of time before someone cracks it. To be honest I am sure it is mostley insiders in microsoft that supply the algerithms out to the crackers. It will not be to long before there is a crack that is quick and simple as with most Apps.
It is a shame that it comes to people cracking software because they believe it is not worth paying for. Does not say much for Vista now does it.

Everything in life has a pattern, just find the pattern and exploit it, tell the people, and get locked up in jail.

It is not a grand crusade for me, for us; it is simply that we do not need Microsoft anymore, and neither do you or any save the technological crippled. The latter is shrinking group.
I wanted a Vista without the graphical effects and DRM. I just wanted better security. Thanks for opensource. But one day some enterprising capitalist will build a proprietary OS from scratch that runs on IBM compatibles which is smaller, stabler, and more secure. It may be named OS X. Hmmm

The technology, ahh, the technology. Use a large enough sledgehammer long enough and 25 digit serials & key codes just seem to melt away.

About time for Altimit OS haha (anyone who watches .HACK// will know what I mean).
Anyways, so basically it just guesses key combinations until it finds one? Pretty complex. Now lets see them make one that can crack all the security systems in 5 mins....
