Submission + - Activation-free Vista for at least a year
jcatcw writes: "One change to Vista's registry lets users put off the activation an additional eight times — significantly more than the three disclosed last month. By changing the SkipRearm key's value from the default "0" to "1," the earlier-revealed "slmgr -rearm" command can be used over and over, according to Brian Livingston. Microsoft calls it a hack. Livingston counters with links to Microsoft's online support documents that spell out the pertinent registry key."
