>Then Reddit decided that this Aimee was just the right person to be an admin.
Not only that, they assigned her to be responsible for subreddits aimed at vulnerable young people. That's definitely the sort of thing that should require a background check.

Reddit hired an admin whose father went to prison for kidnapping, torturing and raping a 10-year-old. She also married a man who writes paedophilic erotica.
This was public information, she even stood for office.

People's eyes were blinded because MJ was one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
I think he was a paedophile, in the very literal sense - he loved children, and certainly behaved inappropriately around them. But I'm not convinced he raped any.

Microsoft licensing is, to use the technical term, a clusterfuck.
The basic server edition allows you one physical instance and one VM. Datacenter allows unlimited VMs, but in that case you're licensing the hardware, not the instance. For client editions you need one licence per instance.
But if you're installing a VM just to play around with then it falls under evaluation use and is completely fine.

It'll let you install and use it with no licence key, but with a couple of minor nagging restrictions (fine for personal use, bad idea for commercial). You can still upgrade from 7, 8 and 8.1 for free, or you can transfer a licence from an old machine (totally legal, but you may need a Microsoft account or have to phone support).
Or you can buy a key from a reseller (grey area).

They're practically giving Windows away for free if you jump through a couple of hoops. They know the future is getting people on Office 365 and Azure.

Microsoft's a cloud company now. They want the businesses these people will start to build using Azure.

In the UK, anyone convicted of a sexual offence that is now legal can apply to have it deleted (the Turing law).
The problem is that the law also covered other things that remain rightfully illegal, so every case has to be individually examined.
