Have you ever bought MS software?
Calum:
when i bought the laptop it came with windows ME.
when i bought the desktop it had winME installed on it, but i didn't get any install media and there was no way the cost of windows was included in the desktop's price at the cost i got it, so i suspect i've only paid for windows once. of course the first thing i did with that desktop was wipe windows.
i have got illegal copies of windows 98, windows 2000, office 97 and office 2000 but i don't have those installed anywhere and actually i don't even know where they are (so maybe i don't have them).
Oh yes! also i bought a copy of windows 3.11 and MSDOS 6.22 second hand for
smokey:
I got msdos6.22 and windows 95 floppy edition as presents. I also have a legitimate (but not payed for) copy of XP that came with a computer that never had it installed - the computer came with both 2k and xp so they chose 2k.

I'd like to point out that if you've ever bought a computer with Windows preloaded on it then you are definitely paying Microsoft.

ok, untill i just bought my new laptop w/ winxp on it (which i wiped), i didn't buy anything from ms. all of my desktop computers have been built from scrap peices that i put together myself, and w/ no need to have windows
Master of Reality:
i have never bought any microsoft product. My computer didnt come with an OS, in fact i dont think it came with a hard drive (i bought most the pieces and put it together myself). I havent bought much software myself at all. The last two pieces of software i bought came with books, Linux Max Security (comes with many apps) and C++ for Linux (comes with compilers and stuff on CD)

Yea im in m0rs position, build my own. Say mac people? Can you build a mac as easy as a PC? didnt think so.
Of cource PC's really suck, because of there brand diversity, theres nothing worse then 6 million brands of broken hardware because they have to make it really cheap to compete.
