As always, it depends the way the hardware code are collected. Being StarForce a r0 protection, probably hardware codes are directly fetched from IDE interface, thus making it harder to 'fake' (I've read *F initially was harder to fuck, requiring to disconnect IDE CD to force it to use 'compatibility' drivers, Mostly the DT one I think). r3 protections are, on this side, easier to attack since they often rely on DeviceIOControl API for evaluating the serial (at least, the 'HW_ID' routines I examined does do).
