The Windows Genuine Advantage
antipiracy system in the Windows 7 Ultimate release to manufacturers (RTM) has
reportedly been compromised by some Chinese hackers, according to a variety of
Chinese forums, and first reported by Neowin.com.
This means the user can fully activate the software offline without connecting
to Microsoft's activation server.
The
software's RTM code is generally the same as the retail code, which will be
available to the public in October. PC makers tend to get the final product
with plenty of time in advance of the launch to make their products ready on
the launch date.
It
must have been a complicated process, but in a nutshell, hackers reportedly
used the leaked ISO file to get hold of the activation certificate that
Microsoft digitally signed for the original equipment manufacturer, or OEM
version of Windows 7. It's rumored that the key that got hacked is one that can
be used to activate multiple OEM-branded installations, such as Dell's, HP's,
or, of course, Lenovo's.
I
am no fan of the activation, (it's a pain when you change computer parts, which
I do very frequently) but this is rather upsetting news. I am sure, in no time,
you will be able to buy a copy of Windows 7 in China or Vietnam for less than a dollar.
