USB Gadget Display does status updates slide show-style {Engadget}
Mar 20th 2008 1:32PM This reminds me of that thing that came with Vista that's supposed to be used to access your device without powering it on; The thing that could look at emails, play slide shows, that sort of thing. SideShow. What ever happened to that? It had such potential.

Windows Vista SP1 (release candidate) publicly available {Engadget}
Dec 12th 2007 9:25AM (Double posted, for clarity.)
Also coming with SP1 but not in the current release candidate, we
will also be including updates that deal with two exploits we have
seen, which can affect system stability for our customers. The OEM
Bios exploit, which involves modifying system files and the BIOS of
the motherboard to mimic a type of product activation performed on
copies of Windows that are pre-installed by OEMs in the factory. The
Grace Timer exploit, which attempts to reset the “grace time”
limit between installation and activation to something like the year
2099 in some cases.

So you kids with the OEM hack are safe with this release. Just not
once the final rolls around.
