not true. the crack i use is a clock stop which prevents windows activation clock from counting down and fools the computer into thinking its genuine. the only thing that will bring it unstuck is the "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" which does nothing but checks the activation clock and restarts it.

using a windows loader program may be easy for you but not for someone who has no experience or interest in working those things out. also alot of those stupid updates do bugger all anyway, (i know they do fix bugs etc but i reckon at the end of the day they are microsofts way of fooling people into thinking "were supporting you and looking after you")

I see where your coming from. TBH I haven't used stop clock cracks in a long time for the said reasons since I discovered Loader programs. They aren't hard to use at all too. Well the hardest bit is the destination drive has to be blank, no partition or drive letter assigned to it. So it needs to be totally blank like it was a brand new drive. All is done then is load on Widose, don't give a code when prompted, when you finished loading and your in Windows open up the loader program, choose what brand of PC you wish to have, HP, Asus, Dell etc and it loads and your done. You can update, the Malicious software tool doesn't see it etc etc. Its quite easy. The main reason I want the updates is I run two HTPC's on W7 Ultimate using Windows Media Centre program. They have done some good updates to this program and its quite good to use now,the UI is really nice.
For anyone else interested in what the loader program actually is. Its used in a similar fashion when you buy a branded laptop or desktop (e.g HP, Dell, Lenovo etc) and Windows in pre loaded. You have an OEM Version of Windows on there from the manufacturer. Basically the loader program does the same thing to your pc. I have a custom build gaming pc here and Windows thinks its an Acer PC. I could have chosen a better brand I think.
Lol! Now that I've said all that, you and I are probably the only people who would understand this jargon. Anyhow, the crack is probably the best option for Lucas but he has to be careful of not accidentally updating.

Cheers.
