Further information:
* The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista editi
on such as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64) e
nvironment is likely to be low.
* The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200
minutes (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
* It s possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with def
ault product key (no product key entered when installation).
* During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Window
s Vista, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest
flexibility for users to install required drivers and application during this pe
riod, so Vista won t prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack, Vist
a OS will always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not be an
y watermark or reminder to activate.
* It s possible to pass Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) validation, so
users able to download Microsoft value-added software for genuine customers.
* As mentioned above, as Vista will also remain in first 3 days of activatio
n grace period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is th
e newly installed system, or who is the patched system, unless of course, they che
ck for the specific file or system (privacy anyone?).
* Users can only view that there is 30 more days for system to be activated
in the system properties, but it won t affect system usage or installation method.
