A person named Brian Livingston who is a Windows expert says that Microsoft’s latest operating system, Vista can be run for at least one year without the need to activate it. This claim is huge concerning about Microsoft’s ways of antipiracy.

He also said that it may be possible to run the OS indefinitely if he or other people researched about this possibility.

“The [activation] demands that Vista puts on corporate buyers is much more than on XP. Vista developers have [apparently] programmed in back doors to get around time restrictions for Vista activation,” said Livingston.

“This is a documented feature of the operating system,” he added.
