son olarak, sp1 ile değişecek olan orijinallik korumalarına dair şu bilgiler mevcut:
With SP1, Microsoft differentiates the experience customers have using non-genuine versions of our software. This is based on feedback we heard from volume license customers in particular as part of our Windows Genuine Advantage program. Further details can be found in an interview with Microsoft Corporate Vice President Mike Sievert: http://www.microsoft.com/.../2007/dec07/12-03wga.mspx
SP1 also includes updates that deal with two exploits we have seen, which can affect system stability for our customers –
The OEM Bios exploit, which involves modifying system files and the BIOS of the motherboard to mimic a type of product activation performed on copies of Windows that are pre-installed by OEMs in the factory.
The Grace Timer exploit, which attempts to reset the “grace time” limit between installation and activation to something like the year 2099 in some cases.

korsan kullanıcılar, korsan kullandıkları için "uyarılacaklar" ancak sınırlandırılmayacaklar. bununla beraber oem bios ve evaluation period haşna fişnalarına microsoft geçici olarak dur diyeceğe benziyor.
