Microsoft Cracking Down On Indian Retailers

slashthedot writes "Microsoft caught some Indian retailers selling pirated copies of Windows by sending in a dummy customer to ask for a copy of Windows to be installed on their PC. The dealers claim that they are promoting MS software in this way. One retailer said: 'Since we are are not charging anything extra for installing the software, it means that we are actually not trading in pirated software. For us this is just a sewa (selfless act) that we are offering to our customers. Besides, the pricing of their operating systems is way too high for the Indian markets.'"

Your logic is so retarded you might have a future at a major corporation, apply now.

For those of you who missed it: the person requested the tech to install Windows without cost, can't afford Windows. They're not just out to save a few dollars.. they never would pay for Windows because they have more important needs for which the cost of Windows could be used.

You, are a shill, and should STFU. You defend an OS that you cannot support, and you use definitively stupid and weak arguments to defend your position. You are arguing that an expensive piece of software has merit in contrast to a free piece of software because you yourself couldn't write better software, and argue that this is true of any software... you sir, are both stupid and wrong. Anyone that needs a computer is not 'needing' to pay money to use it. You are a shill for MS, admit it.

While you say that the software market is mediated on quality, you refuse to admit that there is quality in anything but MS software. You sir, Suck, and I believe you to be nothing more than a shill.

Somehow after the "I am Indian" I started to read your post with Apu's [Simpsons] accent, I found it funny...

Now go ahead and read my post with the Bumblebee Guy voice =oP.

Peace.
