    Is SP1 beta safe for modded bios?

    Maybe it will be offtopic... But!

    The same thing is going on with KMS activation. Everyone knows that somewhere in Korea exists server which is free to access (and to activate your Business or Enterprise versions of Windows Vista). Microsoft MSDN forums were discussing that problem, but Korean KMS server is still ready to activate your copy of Windows. Why? Maybe Microsoft thinks, that we are not smart enough to find that method. If "Pirate" KMS server is still working there is no reason to tremble. Of course it is my IMHO.

    Does everyone still feel the same about this now?

    The basics of my explanation are still true.
    Two points of view have changed:

    -I saw super static addressed ACPI tables at a OFFICIAL OEM bios. To differentiate a mod and a official OEM bios is became more difficult.

    -They really don't care about bios mods (no announcements of M$ to make them disabled)

    I didnt know that their was "official" super static mods now that is awesome! I was always worried that since they didnt really exist that it would be a red flag.

    I think if bios mods were going to become more mainstream, then it would have. I think Microsoft knows that it's too complicated for the average user(like 95% of people). Now if W7 is able to be cracked by the same method, then thats a different story.
