imo to be the safest i would just do a hard bios mod and be done with it that will imo be the safest bet during all this
Just stop and think about what they are doing here. If this thing keeps building and building( on MS sever), it'll have all kinds of machine hashes to compare (along with who knows what all else). Not to mention, that MS may be dumping other information into it on their end as well, I'm sure they are. Again, I could be wrong, I hope I am. Time will tell.
Well, how are they putting in the server? mainboard => from bios vendor => read from bios all the other things are to risky for ms cause when I update my hdd, graphical card etc my windows has to stay genuine. Really the only thing they can use for such a database would be data from inside the bios. And if my virtual bios could be practically made that can easily be bypassed. But can anyone give confirmation that a virtual bios can actually be done?
That idea of yours - bios emulating, did you ask anyone in the bios thread, can it be done? It sounds interesting but also hard to be done!
I'll ask, but it shouldn't be harder than the avarage virtual cd drive, only it doesn't emulate a cd drive device but a bios chip with it's data.
Yess, but CD drives are made to accept all brands and as for bios, it has to be like an universal one that could fit on all motherboards! I could be wrong as I'm no expert on bios but logicaly it has to fit on all boards.
dump ms hazar,daz,orbit and all brilliant people the amount of effort and time being wasted on ms let's better linux and compete with ms headon f....k ms
No the real bios stays. The only thing that changes with a virtual bios is that windows sees a fake bios, the real is still there but windows cant see it, actually it will think the virtual bios is the real one.
Don't get me wrong; Win7 is great...for video editing and games. I just thought you should know; Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Alpha3 is coming out on feb.25. So why not try a dualboot ? No, I'm not a linux geek. Not yet And yeah ... I do believe Hazar will fix all !
no doubt it's gr8 w7 is great, i too have a feeling hazar and all will come up with something but it's time to kick MS in the butt and show em that there is an alternative
okay my machine for testing with daz loader just popped up non genuine. so id say it has to be turned on. i checked my logs and it called out right before that. so the servers have to be on or at least some of them
