Microsoft’s upcoming version of Windows the Windows 8 final release might take some time for release but the new Activation Process for the newly designed Opearting System is already creating panic situation for the ODM’s and OEM’s .
The new verification system for Windows 8 – OA 3.0 is incurring additional costs for ODMs and which would eventually result in ODM’s charging a heavy manufacturing charges to the Brand vendors for the same.
For the OA 3.0, Microsoft plans to pre-install the Windows 8 operating system into PC’s BIOS and will have consumers key-in the authorization key to activate the software through an Internet connection and will completely abandon its previous method of using a COA label.
This new method would require additional time for Windows 8 installation as compared to the previous method and would cost more since microsoft will charge fees as per number of installations and as the technicians would also require to undergo training.
Microsoft is taking these measures keeping in mind the crackers agenda towards cracking new upcoming operating systems,as the history of previous Windows releases suggests it was prone to the crackers attacks bypassing the Microsoft’s OEM activation certificates.
