I read once a few decades ago that Windows 95 sold like 4 licenses in China in a quarter in the late 90’s.

Which goes to show that I am pretty sure that there will be alot of people getting around this.

Thanks for the reminder that China has done tons of pirating of Microsoft products over the years. It's why I can't really blame Microsoft for trying anything to make sure that the people using their products actually paid for them. Did China have a workaround for the old call activation?

Today, Microsoft has 92% PC operating system market share in communist China, about half on chatty spyware Windows 11. There are more active Windows users in China now than there are people in America. Deep state peeping toms looking through Windows in China might be the reason Trump is now furiously preparing for war against the CCP.
