Oh god! how naive of me. I am eternally grateful to recieve this gem of knowledge. Yea! wait till u get shafted by them. Or maybe they have already got you by your paying them for the crap.
u got to play dirty and
Yep you wise fella. I am is loving u. Where do i buy that AK47 to knock off competition. That is a bit violent?. How about knocking them off for Rs.5850 + 11750 (winXP prof + office xp prof) and any other of their stuff u find appetising, now that u know what a rotten bunch they are. Now while two wrongs do not a right make, it is much better than waiting to get short changed. And while we are at it you can present the same argument to all and sundry and add a mind numbing dent to the 3 billion hole caused by piracy in Asia (according to their personal slave the BSF singapore). Great guy you are. Suggest you read some books on morals and business ethics before making cockeyed observations. And stick to the right side of the law by recommending a perfectly viable, completely legal, no-bullshit alternative.No not piracy - GNU/Linux.BTW it's also legal (very sorry to spoil your fun).
fines well the fines have been for anti monoply suites whr M$ which just reinforces the point that they v got power to do what they like wats 3 billion to microsoft nothin much i would say... and wat hapnd to the bundeled IE case against m$ doesnt look like there is much headway and netscape can go on reinventing itself from borrowed code, it aint doin any good
You really need to read. They have lost 70% of the webserver market, 10% of the browser market since firefox hit them, 20% of the desktop market in the last two yrs. Inspite of their illegal practices, money, and fud. But that is not enough. evertime u use or cause others to use M$ products u are rewarding illegal and obnoxious behaviour either in cash or by providing the next set of victims for exploitation. That is the only lesson to be learnt.

When did they ever get 70% of the webserver market? You can't lose what you don't have.
