Yes, it is not a debate. But the thread is about using GENUINE software, not about using Windows or Linux.
Since the thread is talking about GENUINE software, and since Linux is GENUINE even if not paid for, then my post was OnTopic.


And, for the record, I only use Linux at WORK. Saying you cannot work with using Windows is a false statement.

Dude chill, I never said that you cannot work with Windows. I merely implied it is far easier especially when domains and Exchange servers are involved.
Obviously Linux is GENUINE (well most of them, others you do actually pay a license to use) so why the need to go on about it.

I have always enjoyed and loved Linux, I support OpenSource but it has a place as does Microsoft Windows and Office.

So you use Linux for work, but saying that you cannot work with Windows is false? Don't you think you should TRY working with Windows before calling that statement false?

Or did you mean saying that you cannot work withOUT using Windows is a false statement? ;)

And just because YOU can work on a Linux machine doesn't mean EVERYONE can.

Well it looks like I might finally be getting Windows 7. I always maintained that I wouldn't pay more than R1000 for Pro or R1500 for Ultimate. Thanks to piracy, I actually get to pay a fair price for a legal Microsoft product.

Just my luck. It seems the version of Windows 7 I downloaded is too good. Just ran windows validation and the damn thing passes. I even managed to install MSE. Anyone know of any iso downloads that are guaranteed to fail windows validation?

Could not say it better - I agree 150% with you. :)

Generally anything that mentions "SLIC" in the NFO will act as yours does & won't fail in the desired manner.

The USA military-industrial complex thanks you for your sanctimonious support. Thanks to your purchases from Microsoft, who pays tax to the US government, we can now build more bombs and bullets with which to kill women and children in the countries we have occupied under the guise of "weapons of mass destruction" blah blah blah Bush bull*****.

Please stop bleating about how clean your conscience is - your money is being put to dirty use - unless you don't see the waging of aggressive war as being somehow immoral, unethical, a sin, a crime against humanity, and really, really bad for all of us humans.

How much do you charge for an order of 100 tinfoil hats? This is the software section of the forum...not CA or PD.

You may as well stop buying computers (Intel & AMD also pay tax to the US government), get rid of your XBOX if you have one and most of your games on any platform. The fact that you are able to access the internet and post here shows that you too are probably contributing to US government coffers.

Normally I'd recommend some long-term therapy for all that repressed anger and guilt. But loopy political views are incurable. A real giveaway is conflating sins and crimes. I fear you are doomed to being misunderstood all your life. Maybe an Ann Coulter blow-up doll can help?

Now back to topic.

My software is fully legal, licensed and legit. Mostly for religious reasons, frankly.
