There are a million different ways you could be a Windows pirate
(wittingly or unwittingly), and basically only one way you can be
legit.

Can you figure out which you are?

I don't know and I don't care. I'm using Windows only at work in a VM
from time to time to exchange documents with the customer. So, really: I
don't know and I don't care and I don't need to care. If the licence I'm
using is not legit, it's my company issue, not mine. I don't care about
Microsoft products and I don't have time to read articles about them.
