    It's kind-of a clever strategy IMO. They release updates every month, and the description of what it patches so that every hacker in the world makes a bunch of exploits for said fix.
    They keep doing this until your OS is so bloated that you actually prefer the newer OS.

    I'm kidding, of course. They wouldn't include the /resetbase feature if it was true.
    You have to look at software sales in general to understand their real strategy.
    There's always a race to put out a new product. It's countered by how much quality they can put into their product.
    IMO they haven't exactly done a stellar job on the quality of Win8, as evident by the 8.1 release and the subsequent 1.36GB of patches for x64 version.

    They're trying though... At least they're attempting to fix things. There's a lot of software companies that don't even try to fix broken software.

    this certainly will not happen this way because the amount of updated files 8.0 > 8.1 was much more than the update 8.1 > 8.1.1
    There was need for an entire iso same like installing a completely new os. New update is much smaller and can be rolled out using the normal update mechanism

    Afaik problem so far was to determine a correct Secret Value. Had no problems to generate GVLK, that have been accepted by the KMS Host. Generating Retail/OEM Keys always failed so far when it comes to activation :hmm:.

    Now i'm curious how they solved this problem....

    IF it works then they must have found a way to determine that secret value. The fact that he shows screenshots of Pro for Education activated is encouraging, especially since the PID he shows definitely doesn't match what would show when activated via KMS.

    I think the pictures are not clear about it. Sample Keys RETAIL generation but does not show if activated them.


    But if it is true that it is possible to GLVK keys for Windows 8, 8.1 and Office 15 and activate. :cool:

    I wish that Bob65536's app was never posted publicly because of things like this. People will believe that it's a legit keygen, but it's not because the "secret" parameter isn't known so none of the keys are actually valid. An online check would instantly flag the key as non-genuine too.

    If the program WZor's posted screenshots of is released then many will blame him for ruining key leaking because he would of just made it easier for people to post fake keys. And then how would anyone know which keys are fake and which are real? :thumbdown:
