Would you pay $56 to see Microsoft go away?

[SpeeDFreaK]

Or would you consider it a waste of money? I'm just curious to see what you guys think.

Microsoft has already left my house and it didn't cost me a penny. In fact, I made money on the deal.

$56 to make M$ go away would be money well spent.  I would do it if it wasn't free already.

I paid $30 to make microsoft go away in my house. I run Mandrake linux 9.0 on 3 computers here.

I don't mind paying for OSS.

I do mind paying lots for nothing though.

i concur. well said.

People who tell you you must pay to make microsoft leave are bullshitting you.

I've bought a couple of distros: Mandrake 8.1 and Libranet 2.7, and got a few more from these low-cost CD suppliers. Still didn't cost as much as the XP upgrade, and a much better value to be sure. M$ is completely gone here, and I can't say I miss it one bit

i have official CDs of some distros but i didnt buy them. Mandrake 5 secure server edition, Redhat 7, CorelOS, and soon to have one of the first versions of linux.

I'm Microsoft-free too (except for my mouse, but I view that as taking advantage of them) since I got rid of IE, but Microsoft is hurting a lot of people and is still causing harm to the Macintosh computing experience in general.

Hell yes, I would pay $56. I would pay $1000 (provided I had time to save up for it). I'm surprised that most of you are being so passive about this. This is the Microsoft Eradication Forums for crying out loud!

paying 56 bucks for them to leave is a lot cheaper than paying about 170 bucks to keep em (cost of XP Pro)

170? In Sweden, XP costs the equivalent of 276

[smokey]

Here for XP it is around $550 for the Pro and $580 for the home!!   :eek:    :eek:    :eek:   It is absolute BS.

WinME and 2k are also are also priced at around $500 - weird isnt it?

$56 was their share price a few weeks ago. Reason being maybe it's possible to take MS down from the inside...
