Software Piracy, How can it be so easy ?

I am prmarily a Linux user, however out of pure curiosity I went to one of the torrent sites and downloaded what was claimed to be a fully working Windows Vista Home Premium.

Not expecting it to work, I attempted to install it on to a knackered hard drive I have out of pure curiosity.

It works, passes genuine test, downloads all updates etc .

How can this be ?

I have since formatted the drive that I installed it to,as I have a genuine copy of Vista, dual booting with Ubuntu which I use 90% of the time.

How can it be so easy ?

PS. I do not want endless emails as to where this illegal copy of Vista can be found on the net, as details will not be forthcoming as I DO NOT SUPPORT PIRACY, and this was merely an excersise !

Can you hack the registry of the 2nd generation Zune? If so, do you have to re-hack it with every computer?
