Win8 activation system exposure vulnerability

Computer shop news: Microsoft seems to be using a special way to promote Win8 operating system, as everyone knows, regardless of genuine or pirated Windows users, "as long as 98 yuan, you can easily get genuine Win8 Professional Edition. In fact, Microsoft still has a larger activation vulnerability, and users can even get a free Win8 Professional Edition (including Media Center) for free without a penny.

In order to promote the Win8 operating system, Microsoft launched the "88 yuan Win8 Media Center Media Center Free Gift" event when Win8 was officially launched. The Media Center Media Center is sold as a stand-alone feature pack for $88. However, in Microsoft's promotional activities, users only need to fill in the mailbox to get the free key to upgrade Win8 Professional to Win8 Professional (including Media Center).

This has created a big loophole. The Windows 8 Media Center Pack key that users can apply for free can be used not only for genuine Win8 Professional, but also for Win8 Professional, which is illegally activated by KMS. The pirated Win8 Pro version illegally activated by KMS can be successfully whitewashed through this vulnerability.

The reason is very simple. In the process of upgrading Win8 Professional to Win8 Professional (including Media Center), Microsoft did not verify whether the user's original system is legally activated.

 Adding Windows Media Center to Windows 8 Pro" Promotional offers are valid from October 26, 2012 to January 31, 2013, with one product per email address Key. If your computer is running Windows 8 Pro (Note: Microsoft has not verified that Win8 Professional is genuine), you are eligible to participate in this promotion.

The user must complete a valid email address to receive the product key for the Windows 8 Media Center Pack, which must be activated by January 31, 2013.
