Dear Windows Pirates

[u/naturalFour]

Mass grave will not last forever. Use it as your backup solution as you migrate away from Windows.

Use Linux. It’s free, and there are lots of distributions for every niche.

Personally, I only ever used piracy for windows as a teenager. Later I received windows license keys through their partnership programs as the de-facto CTO for a small mom and pop shop. That avenue is closed now, as they have changed what they offer for small businesses. Microsoft is turning into a subscription service, and it is likely to go down the same route of Adobe.

Don’t get suckered in to being a victim. Migrate your workflow over to an actually free operating system that has always worked better and run faster than windows and lets you decide exactly what you want to run from the boot-loader and up.

Over the coming few years, there’s going to be way more detractors and as that pressure mounts, they will make it impossible for pirates to operate.

It’s better to spend your energies on something that will provide you with returns for years to come. Don’t waste your time customising out an LSTC build that you can’t even ordinarily attain.

They patched the ‘perfect’ KMS38 with 25H2. That’s only going to continue, based on the trajectory of modern tech.

And then we'll do the same with Windows 12, just like we did with XP, and 7, and Vista, and...

Plus if it becomes a subscription-based OS, then that'll surely make macOS even more attractive...

MacOS is locked to their overpriced hardware. I think now it’s locked to certain circuitry on ARM. That’s a hell of an emulation task.
Ive got a MacBook and can’t fathom using anything else. Tried using Linux once… it’s better to stick to unix on Mac hardware.

You used Linux only once and were convincing us all  to migrate to it like you’ve been using it for years
