    There are 8 bits in a byte of course, but If a single bit is changed, it would show.

    In a few days we will see the trial version of the latest system from Microsoft, Windows 9 introduces a number of changes, and there are indications that there may be a breakthrough system from the technical side, like Windows 8 was a breakthrough from the visual interface by introducing Modern. Not only this will also change. Further information which leaked to the network reveal that activation of the system becomes easier, and the same favorable conditions for users. Will be strengthened for this anti-piracy.

    The information published on the web Russian user pattern which has repeatedly responsible for the leaks. According to him, a lot of people are already in the possession of the testing system and the materials that relate to it, but they can not publish before September 30, the official presentation of Microsoft. An important issue is the activation of the system. According to leaks, Windows 9 will be able to activate on the same hardware arbitrary, unlimited number of times. This is to make life easier for users, as well as download from their shoulders need to go through the tedious process of telephone activation if online activation limit is exhausted. Increased limit will also be reactivated, and thus will be easier to move the system from one computer to another. Currently, the operation can be carried out three times, then the key needs updating and telephone contact service.

    It is further known that Microsoft intends to release a system in both Enterprise (licensed group VLK ie. Allowing for multiple installation on the same key) and the retail Windows 9 Pro OEM version for tablets and desktops. OEM versions of the image data will be accessible only to the largest partners. Unfortunately, so far it is not entirely clear how it will be carried out system upgrade. It is not known whether it will be possible to update the Windows 8 / 8.1 to the latest version of the system, not to mention entirely of older, but by far the most popular "seven of '. The possible lack of such renovation seems to be shot in the foot corporations, the more that previous reports take into account even almost free upgrade from Windows 8 is possible, therefore, that simply has not yet been fully implemented appropriate mechanisms.

    Microsoft also decided to significantly enhance the protection of your system against software piracy and the people who create software that allows you to bypass activation and automatic locking system. All this despite the hotter compared to the users and their needs, this action can not, however, surprise - it's all about money, and every pirate version was a loss to the producer. Details are not known, it is known only that the system implemented a completely new mechanism. Whether it will be resistant to attacks? Experience shows that this is a matter of time at the most. Each subsequent version of Windows had to deal with the pirates getting better, each of them was also relatively quickly overcome. It can be assumed that in this case there will be exceptions to the rule. An exception is the situation where Microsoft will offer so attractive that "pi rates" of the system will not make much sense.

    For detailed information and confirmation related to the functions implemented in Windows 9 will have to wait until September 30. That day Microsoft will publish a version of Preview available to any interested person. We know that the new system will include classical (albeit refreshed) Start Menu as virtual desktops, notification center, as well as voice assistant Cortana. The rest of the reports leaking out of the network is not confirmed.

    if changed, it would no longer be untouched. I am sure they are doing something other than changing a bit though. Probably a signed file inside a file inside an algorithm inside a file inside another encrypted transfer that is decrypted at server side in MS

    haha I have no idea

    If someone got the same build from 2 sources with different hashes, all the differences in all files could be compared and every different part could be zeroed. Dunno if it would break everything if every single file is signed after making them unique. Or if the kernel etc is signed after making them unique so it would make it hard to boot with invalid signing.

    As far as I remember, WZor was first to announce that "thumb print" thing and since then we're speculating what can it be and how does this thing work. Looking from a practical side, handling all partners different isos doesn't seem a good idea - you need to compile a lot of different .isos, cause all of them would have different SHA's it's harder to verify those isos are untouched and so on.
    We also know, that vNext will have new activation system, so my guess is, this "thumb print" thing is related to it. Let's say every partner gets unique key for activation, for example via store. M$ know how many PC should be activated with this key, and if this number is exceeded, then it's clear who leaked iso.
    All in all, this are just my speculations.

    Language components.
    Interesting. If the language pack move from "Language" to "Programs" in Control Panel ... or this new feature.

    Well, people who do not speak or understand English won't be able to install Windows than.
    If the main iso file would be English, and it needs to include all languages, it would be huge, since no internet connection is required to install Windows...

    be prepared that install media can be neutral and readable for any language on this planet and during installation process your familiar letters appear and you follow instructions as usual
