If there is one or more oem:slp keys blacklisted, certainly we will know it from screaming mdl users. Lol.
Actually, there's a hidden internal check that is set to go off in 7 days after the official release date, Microsoft has kept a tight seal on this but information about it was leaked today. It's made to check the key used as well as the integrity of Windows Activation Technologies to insure your copy is genuine, otherwise the operating system will fail to boot. It's Microsoft's way of getting back at pirates. MUHAA HAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHA (that was all a lie, hopefully)
Sounds like the main problems are the legitimate upgrade keys people have purchased that aren't activating.
Sounds more like a joke to me ;-) 7 days ... Windows 7 ? come on ^^ On the other hand, when it is true - we can possible block this "magicalserive" with a Firewall ... I mean, what with the users without internetconnection?
Holy s**t he wasn't joking! I set the system clock 7 days forward and not only did the OS fail to boot, MY COMPUTER EXPLODED! I've spent the last hour picking up the pieces!
lol all i can say what a load of s**t, hes just pissed because he went out a brought it then found out he could of got it for free
