    Using KMS is dead simple.

    _Making_ a KMS... is also simple :)

    Depends on where it runs, obviously. If it's local, you don't need Internet.

    If you use your own KMS Server (read the stickies about the KMS Server) you don't!

    If you're expecting a loader like the one by Daz, then look again because there isn't.
    Nothing really is substantial yet on how to correctly activate windows 8 sure there are KMS servers but lets face it every 180 days is a dead end. As far as I know there is nothing that really works properly, they all have bugs that need to be flat lined addressing future updates of the os and the explicit "activate windows" notifications.
    As of now it's what I like to call the waiting game whatever phony software is out its probably a dead end until its made public.
