Microsoft win8 anti-piracy new trick: cloud server synchronization

As early as Windows 8 development, there was news that Microsoft would adopt a new anti-piracy mechanism. Microsoft has been fighting piracy for many years. With the development of cloud computing technology, Microsoft decided to use this technology to protect Windows 8.

It is reported that the latest Build8064 of Windows8 has been released to Intel, which also indicates that Microsoft is accelerating the pace to ensure that the upcoming operating system is not so easy to be pirated. For beginners, the easy way to crack Windows 7 with a volume license key will not work for Windows 8, and the product key will not be included in the prodkey.txt file included in the package.

Instead, the installer needs to re-obtain a unique product key from Microsoft's official website. The previous method of entering the CD-KEY can be disabled. The curious thing is, how can computers that are not connected to get authorization?

In addition, Windows8 will directly synchronize several kernel files from Microsoft's cloud server, not only to prevent piracy, but also to allow Instant system updates for some components (no reboot required).
