In this case you are wrong about it being a keygen...this is exactly as described above and does not generate a key at all, it uses one of several other keys that are available to the OEM manufacturers and that are widely used legally by those on the mass made systems. For this to work on general (non OEM) systems you are also required to install a couple of files that the OS checks too.
As you did rightly say it is illegal but that's not actually the point of this thread, as Orangepeel correctly stated earlier, this is about MS saying that Vista would be impossible to crack, all previous versions have been time limited or at best meant altering your motherboard bios, where this method is relatively simple to do and almost impossible for MS to reverse.
Time will tell who wins in the long run. The Giant or the little man
