Rather than spending a fortune trying to develop anti-piracy measures that pirates will inevitably crack within a week of release, Microsoft is giving everyone a clean slate, and making it much easier to become a legitimate customer of their other products if they so choose. In one clean sweep, Microsoft can convert millions of pirates into legitimate users. The move is also seen as an olive branch to China, where as much as three quarters of all PC software, including Windows, is pirated. The idea here is that with a legitimate copy of Windows in hand, even pirates may be more likely to shell out for Microsoft’s other products like Skype and Office 365. It’s dropped from 23 percent of revenue to 16 percent, year over year, between Windows and Office licenses. if you want to stay with the sub.Even though Microsoft has long struggled with piracy issues, licensing is becoming an increasingly less important part of their revenue model. Sorry to hear that you got banned, maybe pm /r/buildapc mods and mention that you didn't know the situation and will never mention it again.
If someone wanted me to build PC for the work, I'd totally get 100% legit Windows 10 and install it for them. It's not that right or wrong, it's how they want their sub to be presented to others. r/buildapc mods probably want their sub to be 100% clean, if there some grey area, they probably will ban it. I didn't want to through troubles of getting pre-hacked Win10 and using crack software.īTW, if you upgrade non-legit Windows 7 to Windows 10, you get OEM key from M$. I myself bought and got OEM keys from other people for home usage PCs and I don't regret it. I wouldn't say OEM keys are "piracy", but it's not 100% legit either. With legit Windows10, consumers can freely change hardware and apply their key for it. So if someone wants to get Windows10, it should pay full price to get full support from M$. OEM keys are originally bound to single hardware and not meant for reselling (Except German law).
