Why do any of that shit when you can walk into your local library/community college and grab the key off of that for free? And it wont suddenly shit out on you one day like those 5 dollar “OEM” OS keys.

Usually you have to pay $500+ for a course in a course that would justify giving you access. They don’t just hand them out to anyone who walks in the door without paying.

Have you tried it? Its a community college not a university. Most aren’t IDing people as they walk into the door. The public library also does not require classes to use.

You think stealing from your local library is somehow better or more reliable than an OEM key? LOL

You think those 5 dollar “OEM” keys are legit? They are not. Plus, its a blanket license. The only one to count those is to get a physical machine count. If its a crime its victimless because they don’t lose any access, microsoft just loses a buck and I dont give a fuck about a megacorp and their OS money
