In the context of a large government agency that wants support and ongoing updates, yeah. Nobody bootlegs Windows.

That can change, once you've assumed that Microsoft can't legally deal with them.

So... the reason it's so trivial to locate Windows and Office, and the reason why KMSPico et exist... is so that the latest version of Windows - and updates - actually propagate, er, fully.

Presumably so that Microsoft doesn't get bad press, and maybe due to (shady but arguable) legal implications.

Oh wow.
