> along with ignoring all the modern Windows and Office piracy tools which are also on GitHub

You weren't going to buy it anyway. No-one cares about you. Pirate it if you like. Take your warezed copy of Office Home Edition and be blessed, no-one is going to miss your 120 bucks.

An organisation with maybe 100,000 users each paying a per-seat licence? Yeah, that's the sale they want. Not your one-off copy.

They are not this cynical over it, it's part of a plan. What they figure is that they can keep MS the de-facto standard this way. Photoshop worked the same way for very long.

Yup, they will care when a huge % of people start doing it.

Not really, no.

No-one buys Windows. No-one buys Office. It's a thing that comes bundled with a computer, or that you "acquire" if you need it.

It's only interesting if Barclays are pirating Windows on a massive scale.

Oh shit did I say the name out loud?

Do companies really not buy licenses?
