Checking if this copy of Vista is Illegal?

then i find a file which contains:

"Vista Ultimate DELL OEM Permanently Actived Edition (hAwIE)"

I did a quick Google search on this, and yes, it's on torrent sites and the pirate bay. You CANNOT sell OEM versions of the software unless you're that OEM (in this case, DELL), and it HAS to be sold with a machine, not separately. So even if this disc is legit (and it isn't), the seller violated the EULA and laws in the United States about resale of intellectual property against the EULA for said product.

So he's guilty on multiple counts. Hammer him.

i will take a look at that :)

and MS claims to have stopped the oem bios crack with SP1

Someone will come up with another, but yes, SP1 disables the current BIOS cracks. ...

When you made your post the "new" bios crack was already out. lol Some people (mainly stupid a** media) are just now hearing about it though... Media is always far behind and don't have a clue...
