Vista SP 1 dummies

Source http://keznews.com/3841_Windows_Vist...ased_to_public

I'm sorry I just had to post this, after installing Windows Vista SP1 on their PCs and then having to reactivate because their copies of Windows where not genuine they've started panicking cause they only have 15 days left to activate and I just said, SERVES YOU RIGHT!

Here's just a few of the comments in some of the posts

does it effect the timerstop hack?
This one was particularly funny and its when I said serves you all right for being idiots and trying to be so smart and fool microsoft

Quote:
i installed it and have now 15 days left to activate. what to do now?
But it appears that not everyone is being caught out, on this same thread I read that people where actually managing to install their copies of SP1 onto fake copies of Windows

Quote:
i install it. the service pack.
it did not kill any oem crack.for so far.
so try it safetly. timestopper i did not use.
I am not sure if what I have posted in this thread is okay to speak about because I have tried to speak about things like this before and I put it in a context which I wasn't sure was acceptable and I have tried to clean this up as much as possible. But all I want to hear is your views on it.

The biggest issue is that, in most cases, they expect different results. I'm sure that many users running a pirated copy of Vista, will blame MS if their system is suddenly killed, either by SP1 or through MS genuine software program. Or, as your samples show, they act surprise that something like that could ever happened to them.
