Windows 7 Ultimate cracked already

The crack can reportedly be built on Lenovo's Windows 7 Ultimate OEM DVD .ISO that was leaked to a Chinese forum. Using the leaked ISO, the OEM-SLP product key and activation certificates can be obtained through the boot.wim. It is actually a rather simple method of exploiting OEM activation 2.1, an updated volume license activation system which first debuted in 2006 with Windows Vista as "Activation 2.0".
Not surprisingly, Activation 2.0 was also the weak point which was used to crack Vista in 2006. Because it is a volume license, it means someone using the cracked version can put it on as many machines as they want.Statements from Microsoft are pending.
