Microsoft heads “To the Cloud!” to destroy Windows 8 piracy

There’s also a good possibility that the recently-surfaced fast booting patent could come into play as well. If Microsoft does indeed have designs on using a remote server to push OS code to systems at boot time (even if it’s cached locally for extended periods), that code would be a very clever place to embed activation-related programming. Even if a crack was discovered, it would be neatly undone during a subsequent start-up sequence — similar to the way Microsoft’s now-idle Windows Steady State could turn back the clock an entire Widows installation after rebooting.

Seems like they may very well be on their way to cloud with windows 8, if you believe this (rumor).

Even if it is true, some people will find a way through it, always do. Hopefully something will be done with this.
