windows 8 activation key

Though we – the loyal customers need to wait a couple of months before we get the legal copies of Windows 8. The Windows 8 Activation crack is already available online for Free download. It has been barely a couple of weeks since Microsoft made available the RTM version of Windows 8 to the OEMs and lo we have the activation crack already available for Windows 8.

The Windows 8 Activation crack is available on a Chinese Forum(Link cannot be revealed due to piracy concerns). The Windows 8 Ultimate activation crack has been built on the OEM version of Lenovo’s Windows 8 OEM DVD. The DVD ISO of Windows 8 along with the newly available crack is already leaked at the forum. Anyone who uses the leaked .ISO, along with the OEM-SLP product key of Windows 8, coupled along with the activation certificates can be obtained through the boot.wim – helps you run Windows 8Ultimate Final version.
The new activation crack uses a very simple technique of exploiting the “OEM Activation 4.3”, which happens to be an updated volume license activation system by Microsoft that was earlier available from 2009 with Windows 7 and known infamously as “Activation 2.0”. Looks like Microsoft hasn’t learned from the mistakes coz, Activation 2.0 was previously the easy module break into Windows 7 way back in 2009 when Win 7 hit the stores.
The new crack which has been successfully been built on a Windows 8 volume license means that anyone who uses this cracked version can install Windows 8 on numerous machines without any limitations as such.

How to open .dat file

August 19, 2011 Leave a comment
.DAT file is nothing but a file containing arbitrary data.  These files are used to store any kind of data by programmers.  It’s not associated with any kind of particular application or a program.  In the case of .DAT files, how to open these files depends on you, it may not be the same program each time.
Some email programs automatically change the file extension on email attachments to .DAT.  So if  any one  sent you a picture and now it’s a .DAT
file, you first need to save it to your computer and then change the file extension to JPG or GIF or PNG or whatever you think it’s supposed to be.  If
they sent you a Word document, change it to .DOC, etc.
We can change the file extension on a file by follow the below steps.
1) First Go to  My Computer,
2) clicking on Tools and then Folder Options.
3) Next click on the View tab and
4) Then scroll down to the option “Hide extensions for known file types” and
UNCHECK it.
Then we can able to see the file extension and change it to another format.
Now simply right-click on the .DAT file and change the file extension to the
desired file format after the dot(.)
You can also try an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)  programmers tool like Winmail.Dat  attachments.  This is an online converter used to open a file easily.
Winmail.Dat Email Attachment
If you have a file named Winmail.dat, this means you have received this file as an attachment in the email and the sender has used Microsoft Outlook,  Outlook Express or MS Exchange Server to send you this mail.
