      That was not a real sale.

      It’s a fake article pretending that there’s a sale in order to make affiliate money selling grey market keys from msdn. Those keys activate, but they don’t come with a valid license to use, those are supposed for testing only on that specific msdn account.

      It works like this: the fake tech blog gets 40%, the rest goes to the keys seller, Microsoft gets 0%.

      Fuck Microsoft, but at that point is more ethical to just use massgrave and activate it for free

      Honestly, as much as I want to shit on Microsoft, this is probably more a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. They’re a massive disorganized mess of a company.

        pfft AI is improving everything, how can you say this?

        I wonder if that divison’s copilot ran out of tokens. That’s probably the issue.
