Hi, Linux guy who also uses windows.
You don't need genuine keys. Use whatever.
Everyone knows this. Children know this.
Linux people don't know this?
Oh, my sweet summer children...
Hahaha true facts.
I think the big point of the comparison though, is that Windows by nature is something you often have to defeat or somehow subvert to use.
It's appalling to Linux people whose software is just like "Yeah do whatever, have fun." XD
Was 7 the last one to require keys?
