Oh no, guess the people using Windows at home will have to just settle for using the easily found Microsoft Activation Scripts!

This broke the "MAS" scripts, at least as far as HWID activation. From their website:

Note: Microsoft servers are currently rejecting HWID activation requests when activating through MAS, we’re checking what’s going on now. Use the KMS38 activation option for now.

Oh no, that messes up my future plans to have an extra SSD on my computer for dual booting so I can more easily do VR

Oh well, I guess I don't ever have to look at windows again, that works too
