The cost of an outdated OS

Windows XP is my primary OS, but I have to admit that I do pirate all of my OSes an software most of the time. When it's sitting only a few clicks away, spending $95 or more on it isn't easy... especially with the realization that the $95 could be an extra stick of RAM in my system, a new hard drive, or a new 256MB CompactFlash card for my camera. Since most of the software companies are huge corporations that overcharge for their software it's not as if I'll loose any sleep over it either...

Well, if you would like ANY FREE FULL M$ product, U should come to Cuba. NOBODY pays a shit to M$ for their products here(at least that I know) and I beleive that NOBODY knows that software should be paid
Chrono:
I think paying for software is stupid. Most of the good softwares are free and/or not made by huge corporations. I'd rather spend my money on hardwares.
badkarma:
I think paying for software eventually brings me some bread on my table .... wake up people

If you want this Microshit software come to China it sells in all shops for US$1, for the full version of XP Professional and the same price for the full version of Office XP or Office 2000, anybody want the shit I will be happy to send it to you - me personlly I will not even look at it, before I was about many times to jump out of the window, and I live on the 28th floor, 1 year on Linux and I'm much more relaxed, FUCK MICROSOFT, but for the Price in China it is OK for some, for the Real Price well.
I always say it is like buying a new Television set, and just imagine you where watching a program and for no reason it would stop change programs, and the a frequent intervals you will have to re-install the inside, then a sign would pop up " and undisclosed error has happened " the television will will shut down , please restart, and when you want to watch another channel a pop up box will appear saying sorry to watch this channel you must upgrade to TV-XP or TV-NT, you would all be down at the consumer council, to get your money back, how microshit get away with this sort of thing I never know, Price for Windoze XP pro and a television set is more or less the same.
Calum:
