Microsoft Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 has just gone gold and their anti-piracy features have already been cracked.

Many pirate websites have a version of Vista available for download which they call ‘Vista BillGates’.

The pirated version comes with a product key allowing users to install the OS on their systems unhindered.

To bypass the WGA check on Vista all you need is a second patch known as ‘activation crack’.

The same pirate sites also have Office 2007 Enterprise editions available for download, all users need for that is a product key that is supplied with the pirated edition.

The distribution of the original version of Vista will start on November 30 for businesses and on January 30 for other customers but the cracked version is already available for download.

Microsoft did not comment on the story but it surely will take some stringent measures to stamp out the piracy of its products.
