Screenshot from the Simpsons where Otto is talking to Marge and Homer standing next to a window in their house with a caption “Oh wow, windows!.. I don’t think I can afford this place.”

    I would say “install unregistered windows, run MAS,” but unfortunately we can’t expect that to be common knowledge. And, if it were common knowledge, MAS probably wouldn’t exist anymore either.

        Microsoft Activation Script, iirc. It’ll “authenticate” a copy of windows or office suite by spoofing the information needed by windows/office to identify itself as legitimate. You should be able to find it by googling “MAS windows” or “massgrave.dev”
