Microsoft to fight pirated Windows 8 via cloud computing

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft has been looking for privacy protection solutions, and some software quality assurance implementation is likely to trigger customer anger. It can be said that Microsoft in the protection of its intellectual property is bound to be some voice opposition, but Microsoft is still moving forward.

In the past, there have been rumours that Microsoft will integrate cloud-based services into Windows 8. In recent days, there have been reliable sources that Microsoft will also add cloud-based security features to Windows 8 to prevent the emergence of pirated Windows 8.

The Rumorpedia website points out that Windows 8 will synchronize several kernel files directly from Microsoft's cloud server, which will not only prevent piracy (at least temporarily), but also allow immediate system updates for some components (no reboot required).

At present, most computers are connected to the Internet on a regular basis, so Microsoft's idea seems reasonable. However, there are also some backup kernel files stored locally, these computers are unable to connect to the Microsoft server.

Once Microsoft performs this function, the frequency of combating piracy will depend on their cycle of updating server kernel files, which may allow users to use pirated Windows 8 offline. If users use pirated Windows 8 online, there will be a lot of problems.
