Microsoft has taken all possible steps to protect their latest and most advanced OS. Still all efforts are turning out in vain as according to reports the operating system is already been cracked by some Iranian hackers.
These hackers have managed to present the ‘fully-cracked‘ version of the operating system.
The pirated version is presented by an Iranian Software company and also has the possibility for its owner to have a legal serial number of the OS. With the legal serial number the users can easily activate the OS from Microsoft’s web site and enjoy all the benefits of buying a Pirated Original version of the OS.
Still better is the cost of the pirated version. While the original version of the OS is selling for around $650 you can easily get your hands to this pirated version for just $8. I don’t think this is the response that Microsoft expected from their ‘Most Advanced Operating System‘.

£5 GBP seems a bit expensive for Vista.
Perhaps when service pack 1 is released.
Don’t let W know. He’s just lookin’ for an excuse!
( and they’re PIRATES! he’ll shout)
This is the real Amreican secret weapon against Iran and its Mullahs.
Wait until they install Microsoft Vista.
Very limited and selective sound and video drivers.
The Iranian economy willg grind to a halt.
The only trouble is that China will benefit from the computer hardware sales and not the American economy.

This is economic warfare against the United States. But why is Microsoft charging so much for that software. It 800 hundred dollars sounds a little steep for its program. And this will breed hackers to break DRM.
In 1984, the computer was $5000 and the OS cost $10.
In 2006, the computer is closer to $600, and the OS is closer to $600. One price plumeted, the other skyrocketed.
Why? The hardware is/ was a free market. The OS, essentially a monopoly.
