    He used the Home version?

    He owned his own island, he could at least go for Professional!

    I remember Windows 7’s editions being a complete mess, but a come on!

    Either ask your IT guy or your friend Billy G, both will laugh at you for picking a Home version when you have the money to go pro.

    What a fucking loser.

        Eh, back in the Windows 7 days paying for Windows wasn’t that bad of a deal, but starting with Windows 10 it felt as if you were paying to get ads.

        As for your last part, I am not a native english speaker, and my phone has two dictionaries, sometimes it picks the Swedish dictionary, sometimes it picks the English.

        I have been in situations where the dictionary marks a word as being wrong and offers a suggestion, when I then pick the suggestion, that word is also marked as being wrong, and the original word is offered as a solution.

        This can be rather annoying, and means that sometimes stuff like this slips through.

    you can activate any windows or office by using vlmcsd (https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd). you can selfhost it, choose any windows version like 11 pro or enterprise or office product like office 24 enterprise. activate it using your kms server and you can enter the matching licence key every so often to activate it. doesn’t cost a cent except hosting on 512mb/1cpu. i think there are public kms servers with vlmcsd too. obviously JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSES ;)

      That’s the part that mystifies me. On the one hand, in an enterprise setting, it can be frustratingly difficult to license and activate your MS products, to the point where you cry out “Why do you make it so hard to give you our money?”
      And on the other hand, you can easily bypass the whole thing and get all their stuff for free.
      And it’s been that way for decades, so it doesn’t seem to be a mistake on their part.

        not sure about the legal side because when you install windows you accept eula and much more shit so im sure there is a sentence ‘only keys officially bought from and provided from microsoft shall be used.’

    I saw someone mention that if you find an old installer for windows 10, you can upgrade to that and continue on to upgrade to w11 still and keep the activation.

        I’m hoping we’ll get past 5% on the steam hardware survey this year. Very possible given the trend.

        Too many of my younger friends are obsessed with bf6 or a handful of other live service stuff that will not come to linux any time soon, or refuse to because they think they’ll run an ai model or don’t want to figure it out for their dev projects.

        I moved over a few months ago and don’t miss it.

    So wait, if you activate a machine with this key wouldn’t that alert a bunch people?

    I mean given Bill’s ties to Epstein and whatnot. Ms would keep track of that right?

    I wonder if W7 had some kind of backup cloud feature… you know, restore lists …

      Windows 7 came out in 2007, if I remember correctly. That was a time when it wasn’t that uncommon to have a computer without an internet connection. Telemetry also wasn’t really a thing, either - when you had crashes or usage data the OS thought might be useful to Microsoft, the OS actually asked you, and understood that no means no. Honestly, those were better times in that regard…

      The key was published in the files. It’s not suspicious to use the key given that it’s public info; it’s not illegal to read the released files.
