    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.

      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

          I didn’t say they were legit. You seem to think that stealing keys from your local library is, though? Lmao

            Its more legit than those 4 dollar cards on ebay. The key itself is anyway. I’m not really sure what your beef is when this harms no one.

      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.

            I guess that makes 2 cases of anecdotal evidence. I’ve never had my library ask questions though. To this day I’m still rocking a community college’s OS key on my Windows machine.
