AR_Alex Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 What if a jailbreak for Windows 8 existed? Would it be useful for themes, tweaks, maybe permanent activation, etc... Share your thoughts, ideas, criticisms. If people start agreeing I may get a few of my contacts and some security researchers I know.

nuthut Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 outside of an RT setup, why would you need a "jailbreak" anyone can pretty much tweek the OS to there needs legitimately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistic Gelatin Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 More useful would be a 'jailbreak' for Office 2013, so we could modify those awful themes (White, Light Gray, Dark Gray) and add some color. I'm almost ready to revert back to Office 2010 for that reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrEzi Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Why a jailbreak... FFS MicroSoft -- wake up ! People bought and used the Software cause of the ability to set it up according to their liking !! Like Android (with market share 70%) -- see some similarities ? So - now you want to limit us and stick it up in our @sses ? And seeing their marketshare decrease -- seems like I am not the only one to notice it.I've heard some rumours that in the future M$ wants to join Windows RT, and Phone together...P.S. On "real" non-ARM PCs you are able to tweak Win8x to your liking (e.g. nearly Win7 style).There are also some tweaks to Office 2013.... however till now -- no Theme fix that I am aware of... Stick with Office 2010 is still a viable solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR_Alex Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) What about activation, nobody has mentioned it. A kernel exploit would be very useful for a permanent activation on office and windows... And an alternative store kind of like cydia on iphone where devs can have the chance to start selling their apps without buying a subscription from microsoft on both the desktop and the phone.

geeteam Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 A Permanent Activation for Microsoft Products will be a Plus. But with Windows Store; I think if there is an exploit to install a cydia (as you mentioned) like store where you can download without MS Account will be cool. Tweaking should be something you do to your preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andisetyawan11 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 jailbreak for free application :) all good aplication must buy :(( . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is waiting for someone says, hey guys, available this tool to activate permanently Office 2013 and Windows 8.1, you only have to hit the Activation button and...magic! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpGrade Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 if it is possible for windows 8 and 8.1 to be activated permanently then why hasnt it been done why isit all kms ? surely someone would have cracked the kernel or been working on it at least ?

But when you look at the kernel there is no way you can crack it unless you find a vulnerability and exploit it correctly then you can get full access to the kernel. But this has only been talked about in a few websites. It has only been used for viruses up until this point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO the need for activation is not motivation for get a jailbreak for WIndows. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demoneye Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If someone find a way to crack the kernel then we all be sorry since it can be used for injecting serious viruses and malware in the kernel level.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone could release a patch to patch the hole right after jailbreaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
