Licensing snafu leaves Windows 8 open to PIRATES

LOL - deliberate ploy to try to get more users of Windows 8 than Minix.

The more popular method of piracy is to break the download (distro in our language) to accept an arbitrary key that is passed along with the pirated copies.

What I mean to say is that this is all known to microsoft who use it as a means to get more copies of their OS (whether pirated or not) into use.

OK
