The release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 not only heralded a long-awaited update of the operating system, it also meant the end of two common Windows Vista anti-activation exploits - the Grace Timer exploit and the Paradox OEM BIOS activation crack. But those who think they can escape by not updating to Service Pack 1 would be sadly mistaken.
That's because Microsoft has surreptitiously released an anti-hack detection update via Windows Update. Those who chose to have Windows Vista install updates automatically would have this update installed and running by now. If you chose to manually select updates to be installed, you should find this update listed.

Now does this stop the one that uses a Linux Boot Loader??? I'm just wondering because I figured there was NO way MS could stop that one...
So which one does it stop? Any ideas?

$90.00 for a Vista 32bit Home Premium OEM at newegg.
If you can't afford that, then you should be running Linux.
