Windows8 anti-piracy version will use the new activation technology anti-piracy version

We have previously predicted that Windows 8 will no longer adopt the same OEM Activation 2.1 (hardware system authorization verification, OA for short) technology as Windows 7, and may upgrade to OA 3.0. Now this prediction has been proved by Microsoft. At yesterday's Computex 2011 conference, Michael Angiulo, vice president of Microsoft for Windows strategy and hardware, said that Windows 8 will adopt OA 3.0.
As we all know, Windows 7 is equipped with OA 2.1 technology, while Windows Vista is equipped with OA 2.0. With the original equipment manufacturer's activation technology for Windows 8 pre-installed in new computers, Microsoft is bound to upgrade to OA technology, so OA 2.1 upgrade to OA 3.0 is not surprising.
Windows users should be aware that Microsoft offers a variety of Windows system activation methods. One such method is called System-Locked Pre-installation (OEM), which is the only way for OEMs to activate. With OA technology, OEMs can bulk activate specific Windows system copies through the motherboard.
The Windows system copy of the original equipment manufacturer's computer is built into the motherboard and it cannot be ported to other computers. OA 2.1 is described in detail as follows:
1. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) activation is a permanent, one-time Windows 7 activation method.
2, the activation process occurs before the computer is sold, so the ultimate user or organization does not need to perform any activation.
3. The copy of Windows 7 installed by the OEM manufacturer on the computer is only valid in a specific computer. The ultimate user can only reinstall and reactivate the system through the recovery disc provided by the OEM manufacturer.
