I bet the same guy "knows" that Germans universally (a) wear monocles, (b) replace 'V' with 'F' and 'W' with 'V' even when speaking English, and (c) have all the evil parts in films.  
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Odd comment - Lazers were invented in the Untied Snakes. The word is actually an acronym, which stands for

But I found it really amusing what he knew about British and US spelling differences, cheque v/s check and aluminium v/s aluminum in particular.

and oh, aeroplane v/s airplane too.

For free!!!
So why I have this:
License: 30 day trial (for evaluation purposes only)
Your evaluation period has ended.
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

|
|
|
Sign-in with your Microsoft account.
|
|
|
|

Why?
And if I have none?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
|
|
|
|
|
That was just a solution to the problem you were facing. Not sure, I have an answer for Why?
|
|
|

Its not a new requirement to have a Microsoft account, I know VS2015 had the same requirement if you wanted to use it beyond 30 days too.
|
|
|
|
|
Not community edition - I have it without far beyond 30 days...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

That's strange, 2015 certainly stopped working for us after 30 days without a Microsoft account.

com-13 had the same.
I set up a bogus ms account and used that (need to go to About - Update License or similar)
After the licence was updated I added a firewall rule to block it's outbound connections.
Working fine like that, no nags, no ms spam.
Sin tack
the any key okay

Can we make the same with the Windows Updates?

2015 isn't that picky...

It is, at least later updates (I'm not sure about initial release).

Same experience here. After 30 Days I needed to Login with an MS account.

The interesting thing is that after installation it displayed a valid community license.
Now I logged in and run 'Check for an updated license'. Now 2017 displays a valid community license again... I signed out (and removed associated account, just like in 2015) to see if it will fail back to trial in next month...

Windows 7 was not that picky either

My 2015 Community Edition was. Stopped working without a sign on. You sure you didn't install the Pro version of 2015 (which won't complain about not being signed in)? Perhaps from an MSDN ISO?
