[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1109883, member: 39702"] And let me guess... Microsoft will do—nothing. Microsoft is well aware of loopholes in their activation system which have been abused way before Windows 10 was released. They are well aware of MAS, it's hosted on GitHub which is owned by them. The entire script package is well documented on their website and is completely open source, so if Microsoft ever wanted to close the loophole, they could without any hassle. They could also suspend the developer's GitHub and issue cease-and-desist, but they haven't done a single thing. Not even issue a warning. The funniest thing: Microsoft support uses MAS themselves to activate Windows on troubled PCs.

Microsoft allows this because they want to keep their marketshare and for people to have legit version of Windows, even if they can't afford it. Don't get me wrong; they still earn money from sponsored apps and ads that come with every Windows installation. They just eased their activation system because now, instead of one-time payment, Microsoft has constant money flow, even from pirated users thus the reason why they don't care.
