Every business and government in the world? Once when I started a new job, the IT guy asked if I needed to use things like Word or Excel, because it's $500 per year per employee for an Office365 subscription and they're trying to keep the costs down. That's on top of the Windows subscription.

I wouldn’t say every business, I’ve definitely worked somewhere where all our machines were cracked. but that’s going to be the exception not the rule obviously.

Basically every device sold with windows is licensed, and the cost of the license is baked in

I bought a license for my custom PC.

...They were good for ~2 years until a Win11 update, which then said its invalid. Now it keeps prompting me to buy a new one.

Never again.

Corporate aside I've interacted with more people who paid for winrar than windows.
