yes, it will all be pirated now. I would be forced to try and find a copy if I did not have access.
On the plus side this will prevent new folks from getting into the business because they will no longer be able to build home labs and tinker - so we will become more valuable over time. I can access MVLS so it will not really impact me. Microsoft is so incredibly stupid lately, and really making me hate them. Other than Niehaus and a few other helpful "People" at Microsoft, I really hate MS now. There are still a few good people, but the company, I really dislike them.
