Service Pack 1 hamper the lives of pirates with attacks against the most popular methods to unlock the activation of the software.

The first update package for Windows Vista, Service Pack 1, will come with mechanisms to curb the piracy of the latest operating system from Microsoft.

According to the site Heise Security, Microsoft will make life more difficult for pirates off two of the most common methods of unlock the activation of Vista: the OEM BIOS hack, which is the thinking that Vista was installed on the PC by a renowned manufacturer of which has Bulk licensing, and "Grace Timer Exploit", which increases the period of testing the software indefinitely.

By disabling these two methods, return to the Windows screen that prompts the activation of the system. If the record is not done, reminders with a timer of 15 seconds will be shown from time to time, at the same time as the wallpaper of the system will be replaced by a black screen.

In his blog, Microsoft explains that users who do not want to install Service Pack 1 also will be affected initially by the anti-piracy protection.

This happens through an automatic update via Windows Update to search the system and inform if any irregularity is found in the activation. This update does not disable the activation found, only alerts the user that it exists.

"Bringing this kind of technology we want to ensure that our customers always have the best experience with Windows," explained the Windows Genuine Advantage blog.

    It is, every day Mr. Bill Gates is inventing ways to get to that form of software piracy of Microsoft. I think he could do two programs, an open source Linux and other types paid.
