Using a pirated OS does not sound like a good idea lol. Who knows what could be added during "cracking" of the license.

Nuthing. You could manually reproduce what massgrave does.

How much time would you need to manually reproduce their 20k lines of activation code? And what qualification would you need?

Whatever it is, I'm sure it's not half as bad as things that Microsoft puts there. After all, who knows what's in Windows source code.

if anything bad ever happened after using MAS there would be piles of evidence because MAS is brought up every time people discuss Windows license price. Equating piracy to malware is disingenuous and malware is not the only bad factor. If you consider all of them it turns out that there is a lesser chance you'll get screwed if you pirate be it music, movies or operating systems
