Piracy crackdown continues

[killadoob]

yup microsoft are just stupid

they make so much money and spend so much on anti piracy kuk

so what if 100m ppl pirate windows xp

they still making billions

shows how greedy they are

also if they think only 100m copies are pirated their anti piracy ppl need to be replaced

OK, so MS have now diversified - Bounty Hunters
People must pay for using MS software, absolutely best value on the planet!! No other company offers nearly as many bugs for your buck

They will only be creating many more Ernie Ball scenario's - see how they responded http://news.cnet.com/2008-1082_3-5065859.html

Urgent notice delete your Microsoft OS and move over to Ubuntu, If Microsoft sue you just know they sued you for not supporting their OS

using unfair practices to gain an advantage

Did i just hear a MS official say that pirating gives you an advantage?

But really, why cant we put this much effort into stopping the drug rings in SA? Peoples priorities are focused on ... money...

Money doesnt buy ubuntu, its free

But they have the nerve to go on about organised crime, this has nothing to do about countering organised crime, or even crime at all. It's about plumping their wallets up. Sure, money makes the world go around, but lets not pretend anti-piracy is about anything else (job creating, economics, crime etc.) other than MS getting (more) money.

I love owning a legal copy

I think most people know, who really thinks you get windows for free?

You would be surprised. And it is not just the OS, some sell "bundled" with Office, etc.

These are the people they should be going after then.

 

[Turiko]

And whose problem is it should the product key on a legally purchased product not work anymore?

Microsoft will make it your problem and tell you to buy another copy

100 million illegal copies of Xp... and 21 new cases?!?! WOW! Hows that for efficient. Their legal team is as effective as their programmers.
