I'm sure for Windows Pro this isn't accurate. There's no way a business could legally permit this, it's a massive risk.

It's probably just with Windows Home, and I'm sure O&O Shutup already handles it.

A Pro license is worth it just for Group Policy, which provides control over such things.

Do you know this for a fact or are you speculating?

Going by the phrasing I'd say educated guess. I for one agree, it sounds like a massive liability when you have e.g. data protection laws to think about

I'm currently able to buy Pro Win 11 licenses at a very expensive $7 LMAO

I used to say just pirate windows, but being cheaper than lunch meh. On top of that these licenses are just resold volume licenses so MS doesn't even get the money directly from me so ehhhh
