Submission + - How to Run Vista without activation for a Year

Anonymous Coward writes: "Windows Vista can be run for at least a year without being activated, a serious end-run around one of Microsoft's key anti-piracy measures, Windows expert Brian Livingston said today.

Livingston, who publishes the Windows Secrets newsletter, said that a single change to Vista's registry lets users put off the operating system's product activation requirement an additional eight times beyond the three disclosed last month. With more research, said Livingston, it may even be possible to find a way to postpone activation indefinitely.

It'd be interesting to see cell phones broken up into two sensors/transmitters the size of a stamp and attached to adhesive. One would connect to your jawbone or throat and let you speak while the other would connect to the antenna near your ear.

Or you could have it like bluetooth phones today with the phone itself in your pocket with the aforementioned speaker/receiver attached to your body.
