This seems to be the best working method to activate either Microsoft Windows Vista Business or Vista Enterprise. Please note that the following method won’t be working with other editions of Windows Vista because it was purely implemented to make it easier for large companies to activate a large numbers of operating systems.
Microsoft Windows Vista Volume Activation 2.0 is a new service for companies that offers them the ability to run a KMS (Key Management Service) to handle the activation of a large number of computers at once. It was only a matter of time until someone took advantage of this method to “crack” this service and offer a standalone VMWare solution. What this means is that you have to options to activate Windows Vista for 180 days.
The first would be to find a public KMS server on the internet and activate your Vista edition using the following instructions:
You need to login using the admin account to perform the following steps.
- Deactivate the Windows Firewall
- Hit Windows+R and enter cmd
- type the following lines and hit enter after each line
- slmgr.vbs -ipk
- slmgr.vbs -skms
- wait for notification
- slmgr.vbs -ato
- wait for notification
If the server was available Vista should now be activated for 180 days and has to be re-activated after that period
The second method would mean that you would have to download the hacked VMWare image of the KMS server and run it on your own computer. If you are using this method the IP of the KMS server would be of course 127.0.0.1 - everything else would remain as is.

Here is how to crack Photoshop CS3 and get rid of the trial period:

1) Complete the installation as usual.

2) Go to the installation folder \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\AMT

3) Rename the file called application.sif to something else, like application.sif_

Done!! That's all it takes to crack the Photoshop CS3 and get rid of the trial period. I am NOT kidding, give it a try and you'll realize this is the smallest crack you have ever done.

Product key for Windows Vista RC2

Here it is: Visit the link to the Microsoft Vista homepage(Click here) and sign in. If you have not signed up before you can easily create a new account by clicking signup now. You only have to provide some information, a working email address, a password and the like. Microsoft sends out a confirmation email at the end of that process.
If everything worked out fine you should be directed to a website which requires some information about your current job, filling that out brings you to a new page that links to vista downloads (English, German and Japanese versions) and displays the product key in the same window. One funny thing that I noticed is the following: If you refresh the page with the information the product key stays the same, if you open the page using the link above you will recieve a new product key. If you need more than one I guess you can just visit the website a few times.

Six Top Tips for Hacking Windows Vista

Finally, the long, five-year wait is over--Windows Vista is here. But you won't have to wait five years if you want to start hacking it; you can start right now. Check out these top tips for hacking Windows Vista.

Hack Windows Vista Screensavers
Windows Vista's screensavers, for incomprehensible reasons, cannot be customized using the user interface. Want to change the way bubbles look in the Bubbles screensaver? Forget about it. You won't find a way to do it.
You can, though, hack the Windows Registry to customize many of the screensavers. For the Bubbles screensaver, for example, you can add three new values to the Registry, and turn the bubbles metallic or keep them transparent; configure whether the bubbles should have shadows; and display the bubbles against the desktop or instead against a solid black background.
To do it, open the Registry Editor, then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers\Bubbles. Select Edit-->New DWORD (32-bit) Value, and create a new DWORD called MaterialGlass. Give it a value of 1 for glassy, transparent bubbles, and a value of 0 for metallic bubbles.
Create a DWORD called ShowShadows, and give it a value of 1 to display shadows below the bubbles, and a value of 0 to have no shadow displayed.
Create a DWORD called ShowBubbles and give it a value of 1 to show the bubbles on the desktop, and a value of 0 to show them against a solid black background.
When you exit the Registry Editor, your new settings will take effect.
You can similarly hack the Ribbons screensaver. Open regedit, then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers\Ribbons. Select Edit-->New DWORD (32-bit) Value, and create a new DWORD called NumRibbons. Click Decimal, and then type in the number of ribbons you want to be displayed. The minimum number of ribbons is 1; the maximum is 256.
Create a DWORD called RibbonWidth, click Decimal, and then type in a number to determine the width of each ribbon. The smaller the number, the narrower the ribbon.
When you exit the Registry Editor, your new settings will take effect.
To go back to your old settings, delete the Registry values
