No no, they are referring to the Profressional applications, i.e., the ones you have to pay big bucks for, like Ofice, Matlab, and Photoshop. LibreOffice, Octave and Gimp are No Good because they don't cost money.

Let's trade for some oil, gold, whatever.
That's because the other Washington has Microsoft headquarters in it, which is even more worthless.
If Microsoft instituted a bullet-proof anti-piracy scheme, they would be doomed.
Do you get a discoundt if you don't run it on weekends?
