It’s for my mother, who so far cannot stand LibreOffice.

    While I personally love LibreOffice, I get why your mom might not. It’s super easy:

    1. Download and install Office
    2. run irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex in Powershell and follow the instructions
    3. Profit!

    What doesn’t she like about LibreOffice, out of curiosity? It’s easy to make the layout like Office (View > User Interface > Tabbed) if that’s her problem - I felt the exact same way, but the second I found out I could do that, I never went back.

        Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*

        • it’s not literally creating them from nothing, it’s using a system Ms themselves run to get working keys. Evidently they don’t have a huge problem with it.

          Turns out the powershell step is enough to get 97% of users to shell out cash.

          And also, the biggest source of revenue is institutions who either will pay for the enterprise license, or can be sued for a good payday if they try to pirate.
