Another more efficient way that MS will not be able to detect is to write a server emulator (not running on the client itself) that emulate the entire activation process. All you need is resources like Wireshark, Visual Studio, a bit of knowledge - and time.

Entire MMORPG games have been copied this way and i am willing to bet that they are way more advanced than the product activation that Vista use.

I could tell alot more on the subject of server emulation, but for legal reasons - i am not going to.
