Windows Vista Cracked Already?

It’s well documented on the web how to crack Windows XP by changing a few system files.  I assumed that because Microsoft have done such a good job of securing the Xbox 360, that they would do a similar job with Windows Vista.

However, apparently determined crackers have already got around Windows Vista’s protection.  You would probably imagine that the method would be extremely hard and convoluted, but here is how they apparently did it:

The instructions for installing it say that you need to set your BIOS clock ahead to year 2099 before installing Vista and then set the clock to the correct time once Windows is installed.

I guess the reason why the Xbox 360 is harder to crack, is because hardware is involved but if the method above works then someone at Microsoft needs firing in my view!
