Windows activation has been controversial from day one. Tomorrow, my friend Brian Livingston, will demonstrate a simple process that will enable any user to delay Windows Vista activation indefinitely.

WHAT?!

No software to install, no special hardware to buy – Microsoft has provided the activation workaround for you, according to Brian. His webcast is scheduled for tomorrow at 11am PDT (2pm EDT) – and the information will be posted to Windows Secrets at some point shortly after Midnight. I’m highly skeptical, but I also trust Brian to provide accurate information. Did Microsoft set the stage to reverse its activation policies? Only one bit needs to be flipped, apparently – but we must wait with bated breath for the tweak. All of my Vista installs have already been activated, but this is interesting news (nevertheless).
