Who is actually shelling out $200 for Windows specifically?
It's perceptually free if you bought it with your PC. And it's actually free if you took advantage of the free upgrade offer.
I've picked up a few licenses off MacHeist for like $10
- olyjohn 9mo agoThe cost is rolled into your PC when you buy it. Its not free. Your $10 licenses are not legal. Sorry. Those are sketchy grey market keys. Though Microsoft likely won't go after you for it, so I'm not sure it matters. You should have just saved the $10 and downloaded a cracked copy.
- DANmode 9mo agoYou’d rather have an unofficial ISO? Why?
- butlike 9mo agoIf they're authenticated when I install the OS, what makes them illegal?
- u8080 9mo agoCracked copy = trusting some shady 3rd party
- Dylan16807 9mo agoI'm not going to switch to piracy to avoid some gray market sketchiness, as long as the keys don't seem to be stolen.
- pdntspa 9mo agoNever had issues activating the Windows keys nor the Office keys I've bought from them. And I always get the installers straight from Microsoft.
- handsclean 9mo ago> perceptually free Bizarre phrase. If you think mandatory bundling is free stuff then your perception is not very good.
- Dylan16807 9mo agoEither way it's a hell of a lot less than $200 in that situation.
