Do people still pirate Windows? You can download the iso directly from Microsoft's website and you don't need a registration key anymore.

You do need a registration key, but now it's tied to the hardware so it activates as soon as you connect to the network, no need to actually type the registration key.

They’re saying Windows will lock away some customization, but you don’t need a key to use it nowadays.
