Never ever buddy ... KMS is time-limitted Activation Grace with 180 days (the others with 45 days are not suposed for that and a nice add).
IMHO i highly doubt they will manage to include KMSv7 until GA. Up to today there was not even a slight evidence that KMSv7 even exists as far as I know Yes I know, but Windows will renew it every time when it contacts the local KMSpico server (every logon I think) That "permanently" stuff is really far away from being honest
KMS7 can be jammed into current RTM builds via WU, and they can compile GA isos with it prior to posting.
Only needs to make HWIDs mandatory, completely shut-down 'offline' activation abilities or start whitelisting the Host ePIDs. As you can see ... three simple ways without even changing the protocol that much, it#s already in it. So slightly decrease high hopes.
I agree with you, could of course happen. My hopes are just high because WZOR or any other trusted release source hasn't lost a word about KMS changes yet. I will wait and see what happens at 29th EDIT: s1ave77 is right, KMS is not their only leverage point to deal with "us", I should keep that in mind ...
No-one is saying they will do at GA, BUT get rid of romantic ideas it would be difficult in any way. Multiply that with lesser control over updates and other 'features' which haven't been noticed so far .
I don't see why anyone is worried at all, Install Windows 7 and activate it, and upgrade to Windows 10 from there, by pass windows 8 completely, Win7 is much easier to get a genuine copy on. Forget KMS altogether.
I would really like to upgrade my 8.1 KMS'd Machine to 10 right after GA when things are clear. Would be a shame if they wait e.g. a month to deal with us afterwards ...
you missed me saying "this old article" ... but its true, the reasons behind microsoft making it so easy to get a copy of windows 10.
It doesn't matter The guts of the article is right : That helps Microsoft because it’s moving towards selling apps through its own store — allowing it to take a cut, just as Apple does. The more developers want to sell apps for Windows phones and computers, and the more people that use them, the more money that comes back to Microsoft. It will also see more people sign up for Microsoft accounts, getting them using Microsoft’s recent services like online storage service OneDrive. If Microsoft can get people into using its products, they will buy more — a strategy used effectively by Apple — and so the move could drive purchases of new devices after all. M$ is looking at this as a service. They don't care how you activate Windows 10. Once they have you hooked, they will flog all sorts od services to you. get you roped in first, they the sales pitch starts
