Would you pay $56 to see Microsoft go away?

A small tactical warhead would get the job done at a much lower price...

You can buy small tactical warheads for 56 dollars? Where? Me wants one!

[choasforages]

hell yes i would spend 56 bucks. that would probably pay for the pentium 2 machine i need to run solarise ix86 or x86 darwin

who gets the money?

i would never give microsoft the money, but hey i would pay $56 along with everyone else who wanted to for a professional assassin to take out bill gates, steve ballmer and his cronies.

FUCK MICROSOFT. And yes, it's personal

[choasforages]

umm, didn't some eagle scout build a reactor in his shed or something

[beltorak0]

yes; actually i don't think he was into scouts, but he started working on it when he was 15, and completed it when he was 17.  quite inventive means of gaining his material.  I read how he did it in reader's digest a few years ago.  Anyone interested?

Sure, I'd pay $56 to make M$ go away if I could afford it and weren't a broke college student.

So, I just settle for downloading ISOs of any Linux distro I want to try or implement.

Here I thought we were all chipping in for some kind of assault weapon. One of the huge benefits of Linux is that it's free. All you have to pay for is the hardware.

I just download the ISOs, but sometimes it is very nice to have tech support along for the ride. I'm just afraid of when the megacorps try releasing their own Linux versions.

It is only an opinion but I think the older dudes, 20+ with jobs would actually pay for their favorite Linux OS, I did. 30-60 bucks isn't really alot for a very good OS compared to 200 dollar Windows XP home edition. The Mac Addicts pay much more for their computers.

ive always used a 700 mgz hp pc, it came with winme, i pirated xp but it was slow (i had 64 mb of ram) i got linux, 64 mb was great with it, my friend gave me some old memory mods that i threw in there and am presently at 196 mb. and of course i paid absolutely nothing past buying the pc. i have no plans of upgrading, unless they start releasing good native games for linux, in which i would want a good 1.5 ghz and up. i dont even try to play games on this. im sure they would work well but not as good as my gamecube or ps2 so thats what i settle for.

Actually Windows users pay more than Mac users in the long run. Mac users pay more to get their software and hardware, but over a two year period Windows users would shell out a lot more bucks than us Maccies.
