  I love how this has 81k stars on Github, a platform Microsoft acquired in 2018.

    Then you may be delighted to hear that, not only do they know about it, they also use it themselves

    (I think it’s the same project, idk I didn’t read all that, I’m legit concussed, but it’s still funny)

      😂😂😂 thank you, this just made my day. Sorry about your concussion though! And yes it is the same project, it shows in the screenshot.

  Oh yes, do not do that! I certainly didn’t do it. And I’m gonna not do it again if I need to.

  Oh wow, you rule.

  I installed Windows in a VM for the first time in years just last week. I’ll never use it enough to want to pay $200, this is perfect.

  I have 3 old DreamSpark Windows 7, 8 and 10 Pro licenses I’ve been upgrading/reusing between my main PC and laptop, so I haven’t bothered looking at the state of spoofing the MS activation process in years. Holy crap now it’s literally just on GitHub lol, used to have to download some zip on a random forum or a dodgy torrent…
