Une rumeur chez BetaONE indique que l’algorithme générant les CD-Key des versions Corporate de Windows XP (celles employées par les piratins) sera réécrit avec le Service Pack 1. Résultat : toutes les sociétés devront récupérer une nouvelle CD-Key et les installations de Windows XP Corporate pirates cesseront de fonctionner avec le SP1 :
At the present moment, an upgrade to Windows XP SP1 from Windows XP with no SP installation will not give any problems or errors about an invalid CD-Key on a corporate version of Windows XP. This is because the new algorithm feature has been switched off in SP1 upgrades. To get to see this new feature, you would have to slipstream SP1 into the Windows XP installation media and setup Windows. Once you’ve reached the CD-key, no current Corporate Windows XP key (none of the 75 that we’ve tried) will work, as they are all invalid. Even if a corporate key is managed to be found, the chances of it working when SP1 final comes out are slim to none, as Microsoft is rumored to ‘still be working on the algorithm for SP1 for Corporate customers’.
Notez bien que je ne comprends pas tout et qu’à la limite je m’en balance car j’ai acheté mon WinXP j’utilise Win2000.
