And you would be right.
MS aren't stupid. They know full well that non-expiring 'evaluation' keys are just another source of revenue that would have been otherwise potentially been lost to piracy.

They are only back tracking now because of the prolific abuse.
Their methodology in handling the damage limitation is indeed in poor form however.
