The true question here is how will Microsoft detect copies of Windows Vista activated via the 2099 crack, if the TimerStop driver is installed with a random name, the crack reinstates the operating system's date and the user is not required to enter a product key?

Profit margin not high?  All the research and development put into producing Vista came from Microsoft's sales of software and services.  They won't be selling Vista at a loss, even with this crack out.  Who do you think the largest consumers of Microsoft's operating systems are, anyways?  I can tell you right off the bat that most copies of Vista are going out to PC manufacturers at bulk prices and that very few consumers will ever purchase Vista out of a box on a store shelf.  As long as people keep buying computers, Microsoft will keep turning a profit on its OS.

got crack also no use cannot update mah after they see all over this is a pirate copy.
