Microsoft owns GitHub, which hosts mass graves. If they wanted people to stop using Windows and Office for free, they could make that happen by flipping a few switches. Given a choice between “pirating” Microsoft products and using an alternative, Microsoft wants you to use their stuff for free. Anything but give Linux any oxygen.
It’s Microsoft’s own activation mechanism, not some backdoor crack. The point is they know full well it exists and are doing nothing to curb it, because they don’t want FOSS picking up steam. Microsoft doesn’t make their money off consumers. They make their money off enterprises that don’t view Linux environments as feasible because all their workers have ever known is Windows.
