    Weird, could the little registry hacks make the online activation fail ? Someone should try to do it on a completly clean install.

    At this point i still had the original untouched dll too, i used the third 32 bits key using command prompt too, and it still didn't want to activate. I really don't see what could make it so random, but since phone activation worked so well, i won't lose sleep over it :) .

    This not only breaks genuine center, but it also has broke aero peak and min/max animations for me.

    - Breaks Windows Media Center as well.

    Pardon the dumb questions but...
    How to create VHD? What can I use VHD for? Can I install another Windows-based OS on it and use the VHD to boot (somehow) the OS?

    hacked Dlls work and system boots also ;)

    to install win 8 on real hardware but not on physical HDD
    install to an VHD file add it to bootmanager and when you have configured win 8 make an backup of the VHD file :D so you dosnt touch your physical installation ;)

    Yea just realized that about MCE too, don't usually use it so I didn't notice. I also turned off peak to begin with. Oh well, hopefully something better will come along soon.

    YIPEEE!!!
    I got new oobe on 1st install.

    steps.
    1. You need to have a dual-boot(or better/ live os)
    2. During install after 2nd reboot, don't go to the setup, instead log into the other OS(in case of multiboot) or boot the live os.
    3. Perform the red-pill patching (instructions above( slc.dll, slx.dll & systemscpl.dll) in the system32 folder using the file explorer of the os/live os

    4. Resume setup.

    Now you will get new oobe like I did at the first time itself

    Enjoyyyy

    About to attempt to install 7955 from my iPhone (M11x has no DVD drive), which I'm about to turn into a bootable USB drive. Wish me luck!

    Doesn't that mean you could do it from an $oem$ folder from the installation media, like in 7850 then?
