I am definitely ignorant but on that, I was perhaps not. On the relevant issue, will a preact 3.47 gb image result in kb971033 showing (mine does) whereas an unact+daz/hazar loader not show that update. Some people are getting that update in their inbox and some are not. Anyway, I do have the unact. image. Only a bit fatigued to replace my preact. with unactivated+loader.
where did you read this? if this is true.. it will make more sense as to why none of my clean installs have received the WAT update ..
Well, I uninstall my WAT (KB971033) update and then did a Windows Update check and it shows that there is no important update. This means that the WAT update has been withdrawn from the Windows Update servers.
i made some calls. i was told wat will still be active. BUT certain regions like the usa and others were not supposed to get the update YET. so it was pulled from the update servers that those areas connect to. some parts of the world as i am told will see it while others will not for a while. but they are still planning on using wat and it is still going to be coming. i was also told they are adding to it for a wider detection of...... wait for it.... bios mods. this was told to me by a direct person i know at microsoft in the corp offices. now they are not in the tech or development end of things but they work directly in the corp offices. she also told me they DO know of some issues already showing up from some oem companies.. like... hp.... =) take it for what its worth but i have known her for over 10 years and she has no reason to lie about it
@armada I think you right... I've been trying to figure out this line in the diag report " Windows marker version: 0x20001" - Problem is some genuine setups have that error as well (maybe they still need to fine-tune it?) - after some research it appears to be a firmware hash (most likely bios in this instance) through the UEFI which basically is "The interface of data tables that contain platform-related information, boot service calls, and runtime service calls that are available to the operating system and its loader. These provide a standard environment for booting an operating system and running pre-boot applications." I haven't had enough time to research this one thoroughly as yet but maybe the dev's here that deal with this sort of stuff can comment - just some food for thought...
Thanks for clearing that up Armada. Damn if what you are saying is true it is going to mess a bunch of users up here that have pirated copies. Maybe they should go back with Vista or XP lol. That sux to hear though, good job reporting this though +Rep
