    OK. It is his own choice. MDL has not been so cruel to my knowledge.

    Anyway, you and me take it a lesson - NOT to spread FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt as Slave77 taught me.

    It was actually Daz :D.

    He says that if anyone is going to say things like FaiKee did then they need actual proof to back it up. They can't just repeat the same thing over and over and scare people with what likely is misinformation. It causes people here at MDL to repeat activation related questions and it can cause major issues if someone were to write an article based on what's being said as the information could be all wrong, which will only confuse people even further.

    His ban should actually expire on the 30th, but it might end on the 29th so that he wouldn't miss much anyway.

    BTW, where has FreeStyle gone? Long time no see.

    OK. Never mind. If you know, tell me. If not, I just keep on missing him.

    Excuse me, I must go preparing my new VHDs for 39 language ESDs on 29th.

    It's more the FUD was said in a way it came across as factual, not an opinion, it was never, "I think" or "my opinion is"

    And it did create an endless cycle of the same questions over and over. I hope he does come back but if not, it is obviously his choice.

    I deeply respect Daz and I really like the FaiKee keeps trying to share things with MDL.
    Daz is right in that spreading false activation rumors in the manner that FaiKee was doing does cause problems, but was it necessary to ban him for a week? Seems a bit harsh. Still, I know that there's often more sides to a situation than we hear about, so I will put a bit of faith in our mods' judgement.

    Now if you'll forgive me, I'd prefer not to talk about it any more. I really dislike drama like this.

    "Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."

    Hard facts do win arguments. But I tend to believe Daz in these matters.
    For no reason other than His success up to this point.

    @Smorgan: You have a sharp mind and a keen analytical sense. Please do put some effort into finding out more about the activation techniques used in Win 10.

    :MJ

    I still don't get it. The assembler I did as a kid went through that much code in about 1/1000th a second.

    Ok this is going to get complicated. Basically when your doing programming you always have data going into your program. This acts as the data entry point as it flows through the scenarios inside the program if conditions are met. However as newer versions are made then we see changes in this data flow which IDA Pro illustrates. These changes are made to make the programming more efficient but the general guidelines of the programmer by his boss do not change. Aka this means Pidgenx.dll will always verify the license key every time it is accessed. This means that they essentially copied the Windows 8.1 pidgenx.dll into Windows 10 with minimal changes. This is what that flow chart illustrates because if I made that flow chart transparent there is probably a good chance it would overlap the Windows 8.1 flow chart. There would be no changes.

    Can someone confirm %Windir%\Media\Windows Start-up.wav is 37.4 KB (38,380 bytes) and a feeble little click sound plz. :g:

    Code:
    Windows Start-up.wav
    
    CRC32: BFB6F316
    MD5: 2186201E9BB9BDF4AAA57B1971524239
    SHA-1: 1E0A86ACEA4ABC763998086AD647F49728DE1204
    This is obviously supposed to be the Windows start up sound if the check box is enabled in Windows sounds? :g:

    Okay, but suppose it's just there for legacy stuff like office 2013 and such and they've moved the bulk of activation and key stuff to the new licensing service...
    We really don't know much about the activation and we shouldn't draw many conclusions.

    KB3074681 broke Network card properties here too. But sfc didn't find any errors, so need to wait for a patch.

    broken here as well... GA can't come soon enough to give MS the rest.. lol

    will be awesome to have that many bugs at GA... millions of complaining users going back to win 7.

    Free or not - no one wants a bugfest on a main working machine.
