Steps to permanently activate Windows 8 :

- Follow the steps in the mail to upgrade to PROWMC (RESTART NEEDED)
- RUN CMD >> TYPE "slui", HIT ENTER >> ACTIVATION WINDOW APPEARS, CLICK ON "ACTIVATE" BUTTON (INTERNET CONNECTION NEEDED)

Its violation of the EULA, which doesn't need to be illegal. For example, it maybe financially advantageous to break a EULA and pay the fine and it won't be more illegal than your plumber messing up.

I really liked the breakdown offered by David Madden, who is more of an expert than I.
