AFAICT this software would solve all its legal problems[1] if it replaced these hard links to clearly unlawful websites with user variables, $URI_TO_WIN10ISO or something. The fact that the README is basically lying to its users makes things even worse. I would go so far as to call this malware.
[1] In the sense of "successfully foisting legal difficulties onto end users"
- dijit 3y agoRehosting the same ISO is permitted though. Unless what you're saying is that this is a modified ISO to remove activation. if thats the case then, I agree wholeheartedly. Just explaining why you dont/cant use the standard microsoft.com links.
- nicklecompte 3y agoAh - I misread your comment earlier, and I also didn't see that the other ISOs were hosted by Microsoft. In fact I misread most of this project because I was pre-emptively suspicious :) I guess the real problem is these older installations are in a bit of a grey area so I can see the value Bob Pony is actually providing here. I'm pretty sure these ISOs are NOT modified though I am a bit skeptical of some of these sources. Editing my first comment to clarify that I misread this...

All the while, there's this Linux thing that just works. And you usually don't actually need Windows. It's an application ON windows you need. So, try Linux/wine docker and dockerize it in WINE.
