Not everyone is down with how those websites do business (they're often money laundering operations for stollen credit cards or stollen keys of some sort).

A windows license is also not what it once was, microsoft itself barely cares to enforce it anymore, they make their money on volume licenses to oem's and companies, and on ads they've been increasingly pushing.

Hi,
Well doubt W1zzard would keep running adds for them if they were doing all that

Only odd thing I didn't like was calling a win-10 pro key which was really a win-8.1 key so not to upfront there but they do have pretty good customer support if an issue surfaces so I'll give them that :cool:

They probably aren't doing anything per say, they are just the intermediary. But think about it, the prices aren't 5 to 10 times lower than retail by magic, this is widely known and simply shrugged off by most people.

I don't intend to advise on the morality or clain some moral high ground or anything, I bought keys like this in the past and will probably do again at some point in the future, just know that there's no magic deals, someone somewhere is getting the bad end of this
