| how does Microsoft know that you uninstalled the OS? |
Unique hardware ID. Connect to theinternet, M$ has a database of serials with hardware IDs.
Granted, if you are always offline all you have to do is have a serial that works with M$ algroithm for the install. But that algroithm is based on a unique hardware ID of the system it is being installed on (which wasn:t the case in XP)
Once you plug into the internet, and M$ sees a serial that has two registered hardware IDs....bam you just became a pirate. |
