And not only that, but didn't MS try to sue and Australian charity for reusing preinstalled software on donated machines?
Yep... they were trying to sue a non-profit organization for giving away refurbished computers with Win 3.11 pre-installed to childeren who's familires would otherwise not be able to afford them. They tried to make the organization pay for each license, even though they don't even sell or support Win 3.11 anymore here in Australia. It might be just me, but, isn't the whole point of paying for a license to identify yourself for support purposes?
Just goes to show that M$ really doesn't care about anything accept their profit margin (but thats been apparent for years, this is just a fine example).
Oh i forgot, you were forced to buy it...no?!?!...then SHUT THE FUCK UP COMMIE!!
Well, considering that most big-name PC 'brands' (Compaq, HP, Dell) have been forced to ship their products with ONLY Micro$hyt OS's.. then yeah, i'd say alot of people were forced into buying it...
as for your comments on linux, i don't know how you figure it doesn't work, cuz in my experience, once you have your system all setup & configured, you never have to do shit (apart from upgrade the kernel).
how fuckin' sad are you?!? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough*lamer

...and believing in a god doesn't make it real either.
does believing in yourself make you a god?
god is the universe, it is you, it is me, it is everything that has been and ever will be.
