yet ANOTHER way to bypass windows validation found ........

U r very right in that buddie..

Yes Gentleman I too accept your words.

Microsoft must reduce the cost of the OS if it want to sell more genuine copies. Atleast it should give the OEM for just 1000 bucks. Right?

Yea....That happens!

I mean My friends never purchase any software!
All from Friends & download! ---< CRACKED >

But Yea..... Rs 1000/- is a good Deal

1000 original wingays wont b much but comapring to good old piracy its more thn anything

 

[QwertyManiac]

yes a 1000~ buk will be a good bargain with an overwhelmin response...

It will be better if they can reduce it upto atleast say,....
2000~ for now and then gradually reduce..

Atleast they can give a slight stripdown version...

has anyone here tried xp starter edition, i think it costs around 2000 bucks; but is crippleware ?

Well ya piracy should be stoped and its easy to do that.

MS can implement hardware varification tool, which will actually scan your mobo for a perticular code ( which can be anything, like number etc). Once the code matches with the OS code (or installation ID) the product should activate.

For example: I have a HCL computer at home, when I changed the mobo, I had to re-activate the OS again, which was successful but when I attempted to install Microsoft Plus! on it, it never allowed saying "This software is designed to be installed on HCL computers only"

Do you know why it gave such an error, because of the BIOS, actually the mobo had the customised version of the BIOS chip. Which contained the HCL logo and other information.

Now, the question is will Microsoft implement such hardware varification tool in Windows Vista or not ?

I think they should.

By now Bill Gates must have read this post.

BIOS Chip?? U know what.....Information stored in the Bios can be hacked directly while OS is running. Mods! No offense intended.

I don't think there will be many illegal Windows Vista Copies because of advanced anti-piracy protection. And Rock-Solid Acitvation system

But even if someone mangaes to install a illegal copy then he/she will not be able to install any other Microsoft Products due "Standard Genuin Validation Check".

This is going to be the implemented in all MS Products. We have already seen IE7 Beta which has this validation check

u think crackers will be sitting and watching it???

Dude i knew tht BIOS can be hacked but can its crucial parts can be hacked? I thought only the unimportant stuffs in BIOS can be changed. Unimportant in sense of things that can cause problems to computer. And most of the new motherboard has a sort of back up system which will reload the whole BIOS as it was before. This has been implemented to make over clocking less dangerous. So hacking BIOS is virtually impossible rite?

Dude someday will u learn to take something in the rite sense???

 

[planetcall]

Comeon bro! didnt mean to make ya feel bad. But it would not be taken seriously if ya say something in computing as "virtually impossible". I didnt mean anything else but was replying to the "?" u put at the end
Only reply to the another set of "???" is ....... rite is wrong

It is a famous old saying. I would like to repeat it....

"There is a crack in everything, that is how light creeps in"

enjoy!!
