Microsoft Patches Vista iPod Bug
Microsoft has patched a Windows Vista bug that can corrupt an iPod when you use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' feature or disconnect the iPod using Windows Explorer.
The release is for users worldwide and works with the latest version of Apple iTunes to correct an issue that caused some iPods to become corrupted when ejecting them using Windows Explorer or the "Safely Remove Hardware" function in the System Tray.
It was only a matter of time until a fully cracked version of Windows Vista would be released by a cracker group. A group called NoPe released a Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate X86 OEM version that requires, according to their nfo, no serial during installation and no activation after installation.
The version of Windows Vista Ultimate seems to be already activated because it is possible to use Windows Update to download all updates from windows update. There is however the rumor that this is actually a Dell OEM version which does only work on Dell computers.
According to the comments on The Pirate Bay (which has a Dell OEM torrent) the version installs on all PCs but remains activated only on Dell computers and requires a activation after 30 days on all others.
I wonder how long before M$ gets this one patched. They are working on getting the Paradox BIOS fix out there. So i dont think it will be to long after that they will fix this one as well.
