As I said, Microsoft do not care about piracy. They say these things to keep their partners happy. 90% of MS's profits are on the big OEM installs
why have you got such a bloodi good answer for everything u need to teach me your ways i bet you can beat anyone in a arguement its the way you use words and stuff you very good with your use of english
Yes you are right, Sievert claimed something that didn't happen, also Kochis did. Mr. Kochis was the WGA responsible man. M$ has announced the new WAT last year..nothing happened! Some have laughed about. Why does a company fire an employee? I too don't say that M$ will close all doors, but they will reduce the SLICed OSes....if we are lucky they won't touch the biosmods... If nothing should be happen again, M$ will fire another employee..lol
My opinion is that MS originally didn't care about piracy with Vista but now that Win7 has be given good reviews more poeple are migrating to it. With the new bios mod tools readily available MS sees this as becoming a widespread problem compared to 3 years ago. Their main concern is a small computer shop selling PCs with modded bioses. What would prevent a small PC shop from buying Asus mainboards and flashing them with a modded bios and loading Win7 Ultimate. Bios mods have become more mainstream thus it is a bigger piracy threat. Again this is just my opinion.
has anyone been able to actually prove the now that matching cert and slp are or are not the key to this? i dont think so. i think there was something else invloved in the few that got flagged or at least i hope so. i have many machines that came from msi directly with msi 2.1 already in them but there is not ultimate key which is what i have installed. i have tried everything with the tool to mod them to different bin but it just does not work so they will need prob a manual mod so for now i left them be and used a dell slp key. so im crossing my finger as all of you are. but this is the same for my mom's toshiba's there is no ultimate key so ill have to mod to something else i guess if this turns out to be true. sucks after all the hard work here at mdl and all the bios mods if they start getting klilled.. i may buy a technet sub does anyone know if the of is installed using a cert and slp key is it as easy as just adding the new technet key or is there anything else i have to do?
it was defo earlier on in this thread a person wrote on the M$ thread askin for help cos key didnt match cert they said they wouldnt help him yen then posted that thread here and then few answers later the lad that had that thread put a few responses on here it was defo because he got mis matched key n cert and for your last paragrah i aint got a clue
Really if you don't want to mess with it just turn off auto updates. Use the search feature on these forums search "SAFE UPDATES" and install what is marked as safe manually. Just that simple. Or just wait and see like me with my HP slp slic cert and see what happens a react accordingly. I have read 74 pages of this could happen that could happen, As I stated before the crew in here is the best they will find a way to bypass it. No matter what M$ does It will be bypassed "Anything created by man can be undone by man."
My concern is that many people here will believe whatever you tell them, regardless of whether it has been thoroughly investigated and tested. I'm not trying to complain, argue, or be a pessimist; I can see that your efforts are greatly appreciated and there's nothing wrong with that. My aim is just to keep people informed about the probable outcomes to this mess. Just because these ICACLS commands complete successfully, it does not mean the problem is solved. Adding the Windows Activation Technologies Service to the firewall won't make anything genuine. Without seeing WAT completely rolled out, there is no way to provide a practical solution. Preventing files from running via access control list modification is not a solid workaround. The most ideal way of handling WAT is to have it validate properly. Microsoft has already prepared a fix to blocking the system access to the Software Licensing Library (sppcomapi.dll), so why wouldn't they learn from that and be ready to tackle the same weakness for WAT? It only takes a single ICACLS /reset command to put you back at square one. Besides, what's the rush? It hasn't even been officially released yet. @Hazar: You said that it seems to work for you right now, but how can you really tell if it's working? What are you going to do if WAT can detect that it's being suppressed? There is no current cause for alarm until you see the effects of WAT first hand, so let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
the updates will get made compulsarly just like wga and it depends how far M$ go to see if it can be undun imagine you run a pirated version of antivres u just waiting for your key to get blacklisted then you get another key cat and mouse. but only thing is M$ might close ALL its doors on windows it could do its defo possible then what google OS for me
Hi everyone. I just wonder one thing, do we miss something here? I have not installed the unoffical WAT update. but the SLIC toolkit still shows. Read OK! (BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-*****) and EVEREST do the same, so this situation must be related to something else perhaps an earlier update from M$ I'm using bios mods, Dell key and Dell certificate....
I'm trying to understand what makes your probable outcome anymore valid then Hazar's? Why would it be any different that many people believe whatever you tell them? Obviously dealing with WATU will be an ongoing process. Hazar has upgraded his tool in the last couple of weeks. I think that's encouraging. LoL
That happens sometime, but it doesn't mean problems. Google for key readers until you find one that can read your key. I had to try 4 or 5 till I found one.
okay for the bbbbb's i reinstall the dell cert and key and rebooted now mine reads fine with the wat update
well i dont feel its been totally proven yet that this will in fact be the nail in the coffin but it may sn up that way well see. i wish we could get more msi keys.
