| 8月1日微软MSDN上出现“Windows 7 OEM Product Key Leak”文章,被不少人误解为微软封杀KEY,其实微软并非封杀KEY,而是封杀所谓“模拟bios激活”(即我们常说的“软bios激活”.)这种方法.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 7 already includes an improved ability to detect hacks, also known as activation exploits, and alert customers who are using a pirated copy. There is a hack that is said to enable, when paired with the leaked key, a system to install and use a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. Both the hack and the key are indications that a copy of Windows may not be genuine. The Windows Activation Technologies included in Windows 7 are designed to handle situations such as this one, and customers using these tools and methods should expect Windows to detect them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
目前vista激活软件vistaloader即是此法,在载入vista前,将模拟的带SLIC的BIOS信息写入内存,Vista将会读取内存中的"BIOS",从而达到所谓“软bios激活”.
微软所谓的制止行动已经付诸实践,那个所谓的16399版本(实际上只是一系列更新)中,KB675605对“软BIOS激活”进行了反击.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows6.1-KB675605
操作系统引导程序：Bootmgr，版本号16399
硬件抽象层：HAL.dll，版本号16399
操作系统核心：ntoskrnl.exe 和 ntkrnlpa.exe，版本号16399

在PCBETA上的网友反映,安装此补丁后“软BIOS激活”失败.“硬BIOS激活”未受丝毫影响.
(请见https://bbs.pcbeta.com/thread-543258-1-1.html)
分析:
微软封杀这个KEY的可能性是有的,因为它没有被安装在客户的机器上;不过当预装Windows7的电脑开买后……
微软封杀硬BIOS的可能性是很小的,首先,在技术上是难以分辨“硬BIOS激活”和“正规OEM用户”的;其次,如果封杀KEY/证书/SLIC的话,代价将会相当大,OEM厂商会不干的.
总结:
自此,沸沸扬扬的封KEY讨论可以到此为止,大家可以放心地“硬BIOS激活”.微软若要完全杜绝模仿OEM激活,还有很多工作要做的,比如说激活机制中添加对主板信息的签名加密,比如说取消离线Key+Cert+Slic=正版的方式,不过这些都不是windows 7上可以改进的,已经上市的OEM机器会很难堪.大家如果真的想看微软发飙的话,等Windows 8吧.
最后说一句,作为一个学软件的学生,我还是推荐正版的,有劳动就应该有所得,这是最基本的社会道德.也许微软的高投资高售价产品我们买不起,那么我推荐尽量购买OEM带预装的机器.
