yes. you can crack it. but youll have to contact an independent, small computer shop. theyll charge you a good £100 i'd think so you may as well just buy a legitimate version of windows vista basic if you try to update then theyll just flag you and give you a 30 day verification notice and after that your pc wont boot up. windows updates are a complete waste. i dont ever use them as they made my hardrive die twice so the computer technician said to stop updating. and even if they had worked, i see no benefits

I also did what you have done, you will get no updates ,only warning messages from M/S. Do what i have done buy a legal copy,it will save you a lot of problems from M/S. And a possible huge fine.

i myself do not want to get involved with messing around with microsoft. they're strong =P just do a google or them, but include "-microsoft" in the search. this should ignore the microsoft site and list the others.
