has anyone noticed this before???

 

Yea, my thoughts would be that eventually they might check for bios mods by their revision date but again if you have everything matching up(Right now it is not possible for some users) and a revision that was made after win7 RTM released to the public you should be fine but again that is just my guess on it. When I mean "Matching up" I mean lets say you have a

Code:

HP motherboard + an HP SLIC table + an HP Cert + an HP key = Match

but if you have lets say a

Code:

HP motherboard + an Acer SLIC table + an Acer Cert + an Acer Key = Not Match

I would guess that M$ may check that too in the future if a lot of ppl are still pirating it.

 

I'm interested in why they made WAT optional. Their other anti piracy methods were made mandatory. This part puzzles me. Is it a privacy issue maybe? Or something else?

 

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

no not all the anti piracy was mandatory at the start they always have them optional then force later on to make you have them

i think they only made the WGA manditory for UK and USA last time because piracy was at its highest in them 2 countries everywere else was optional to start with

 

Are you giving tips to M$ with such creative ideas or helping us ???

 

Huh

Installed all updates, daz loader and wat update in vmware with internet acces, why does it say N/A? Is there a way to force wat to try to phone home right now or do I have to wait for it to do it by itself?

 

like what the other guy said M$ will be testing it to make sure it does not mess any legit user up and then release it as a mandatory update via service pack 1

OK thanks, I'll try it

 

tried to skip foward 90 days as stated and it didnt do anything i left it for 2 hours and wat never called out or anything??

 

Wat call home on me at 5 am still here nothing happen

 

just checked my dfi based system with dell slic and wat called home or at least it looks like it did this morning and no issues yet with that one..

 

I think it's just building it's muscles.

Into the data base you two go.

Once this thing gets it's muscles built up, i think we're screwed.

 

hello allll

i guess i willl be a dooms day scenario on 17/02 for all user who activated their OSes with loaders
i am afraid though i have no doubts on the talent of hazer,daz,yen,om dhar,hotcarl etc that this might be the end of all loaders as Yen said

i would say that we might loose the battle as we are not the creators of windows 7 but M$ is.

before on this thread i was seeing HAZER was giving counter mechanisms to the update but now even he seems to be quite,i guess he too knows this id the end.

even Daz have not said anything for too long,i don't know where he is.

please help all of us here and f**k this with something like anti WAT

or do i have to also do a hard mod and will it not be detectable by this F**king WAT

regards
