Windows 7 OEM
joseole99:
All right. So I was looking through the different bots and [a-S] and came across an .iso for the x64 Windows 7 Ultimate. It's the OEM that was done by BIE and I guess I'm just curious.
Is this the genuine Windows 7 that is gonna be released on October 22?
Are you still able to access Windows Updates with it?
Is it pre-activated or do you have to download the Windows 7 Loader?
What do you think will happen to all the people that installed this OEM?
Will it stop working once Microsoft deals with the OEM master key that was leaked?
Has anyone here actually installed this Windows 7 Ultimate?
My last question is: Is Windows 7 Ultimate worth the upgrade from Windows Vista Ultimate?

Features and everything else, yes. Checks Windows 7 out first. I am upgrading.
Btw, we already have an on-going thread about Windows 7 in general and we were discussing OEM's as in the lastest posts.

I have completed "that thingy" 1-2 days ago. Uploader said it was genuine (?) and does not need activation or keys. Unfortunately the torrent was removed from the tracker before somebody could give proper feedback.
I am done with the backups and will probably install it tomorrow. Currently using XP Pro 32bit.
Microsoft might do something to prevent it from functioning properly, but we will see in couple of days.

would you mind posting something about it after you install it? that would be alot of help.
and i saw the other thread, but couldn't find anything about the OEM. guess i just didn't look well enough
Lupin:
I haven't tested this ISO yet (since I have a legit copy/serial) but based on the comments I've read, it works fine.
It tricks the OS into believing that you're using an OEM machine (from the likes of Dell, Lenovo, etc). Whether activation is successful depends on whether your configuration can trick the OS.
If activation doesn't work, there are still ways to have Windows activated using this installer but it may involve flashing your bios.
