There is actually a way for them to resell it rather than to partner with MS. GoDaddy and CDW do this
Yeah, they really are nowhere near that level.

didn't we talk about this last week?
It was a long thread on Spiceworks.
Link please?

Are they being overcharged?
I don't know but I've seen other things this company has done and I would not be surprised.
i.e domain registration, it is entirely in the name of the provider rather than the client.
You discover a situation where a client is paying a "IT Service Provider" for their emails.
You notice that their emails are with office 365.
Your brain immediately says that it is impossible to resell Office 365, so they must be breaking the MS terms somehow.
What do you do?
Surely exercise leads to electricity which leads to computer time?
No Exercise, No power, no computer.
Saw a comment from someone with the IT Service Provider tag on Spiceworks.
Click on the profile.
Then made the mistake of clicking the website
This has got to be one of the best trolls I have ever seen, I hope it's not serious.

And stores compete, so if we do better and it makes it so someone will come to my store instead of one of the other local stores, that's viewed as a success by the company.
I think the key questions to ask with this are
A) If this is how the store operates, why does the tech supervisor disagree with you? Why is he alien to the culture?
B.) Does the Manager encourage this behaviour? Has he written this down in the guidelines?
C) Is Management at the regional level behind this?
Not the best way to handle it perhaps.
He knows you are moving on right?
I think he is just trying to poke at you, shrug him off.

Honest question because Microsoft licensing is vague and hard to understand sometimes - can you easily virtualize Windows 7? I thought you need special licensing on top of the base license?
"You may run on the licensed device at any one time one copy, or instance, of the software directly on the hardware (the physical operating system environment) and up to four instances of the software in virtual machines. You may create and store an unlimited number of copies (for example, copies in VMs) for use on any licensed device."
Taken from the Win 7 EULA

Oh right, so it's SuperFish, there isn't a third "network shim" out there.
Yes, Superfish was a network shim that ran a man in the middle attack not just on HTTP but with a signed SSL cert so that it could intercept secure data too like banking information.
Yeah I know what it did, Just got confused halfway through the thread in case they did it on a separate occasion.

I'd already caught up on the latest bit of fun, so much warning clients.

Bit late to the conversation.
Yoga Network Shims, any source articles of that to reference?
Sat down at my work-station, down-loaded the file again.
Double clicked...It opened.
Opened the file inside.
Copy pasted the text.
Instant success, zero effort.
Should have done that straight away, would have looked like a pro :bowtie:

I never actually tried opening it normally. The OP never set a password
Wolverhampton Wanderers are the greatest football team the world has ever known.
Is a lie.
Also could you set a password next time
