Re: Windows 7 Activation Fix

Everyone who has re-imaged their Classmate should apply this fix.

When most of us re-imaged our Classmates with Windows 7 (the KOP USB image stick), we did not have an activation code to register it with Microsoft as an Authorized copy of the OS.

FIRST gave us a temporary fix with the Classmate_Update.bat to make the activation notification go away for 30 days.
So if you used it you won't have any symptoms for 30 days, then you'll start getting the "Windows not genuine" message again, and the system would stop working, probably in the middle of a match.

Now they've apparently posted the real activation solution that should be permanent and we won't ever have to worry about this ever again.
Of course, we'll really know 30 days from now...
