Anyone who's running a cracked version of Vista will be forced to buy the real version, Vista will cease to function if you update to Vista SP1 on a cracked version.
Microsoft is to change the automatic anti-piracy checks in Windows Vista and will also make it harder for hackers to bypass the system. The changes will be included in SP1, due out early next year.
Once Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is installed on a PC, that computer will no longer go into limited functionality mode if a user or administrator fails to activate Vista on that system in 30 days or if the system fails Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) validation, which checks to see if a version of Vista is pirated or counterfeit. In Vista, WGA is called the Software Protection Program feature.
