I think those articles are talking about an older hack. There is a hack
which simply removes Windows Activation Technology, but still lets you
get all the updates. It's called RemoveWAT.

Yep that was written last year, things have moved on since then, BTW
Microsoft did plug these cracks.

The WAT is being updated constantly

I believe now there is a better way which starts by you removing a cfg
file from the install CD, then use the activator.

You can also download the full 32 bit and 64 bit ISO's direct from the
MS site, these have been obscured with vista file names.
