In Turkey's laws you can not sell a product with combining another product in same label. Computer is a product and software is another product. Hence you can not sell them under same label according to laws. But they selling computers by combining with M$ licenses. Some of my friends had to seek to justice but as you expect they can not take their money back.

The winner is always who has the big money. They don't need to put an encryption key in motherboards. They do this f.cking shit already without key.
