I like your ideas, we are all in this mess because humananities basic greed. After all, you if you aren't going to use the windows installation key, I'm sure there is someone out there who may need it, and the fact is, it will help pay off your karma a little. When I was an employee, I complained about the boss, when I became a boss, I caught myself complaining about the supplier, now that I supply others, I get uppity about the manufacturers. I think its a matter of human conditioning. The thing is though we should remember that we have a good look at the other guys shoes, and know that even the greatest of empires don't last for ever, that change is a part of the natural cycle. I won't be surprised if Microsoft's Karma catch's up on them. And I believe that all those that are currently involved in open source, are contributing something to our technical evolution of our race, rather than creating better ways to kill. (I haven't heard of a version of red hat that you can install on a cruse missile yet?!?!?). If we all focus on doing a little something every day for someone else with out desire for reward, be it a little advice on the help line, a free fan in a new P.C, or a promotion sample of wares, and balance it with your profit taking as a business, employee, or supplier, this world will be more a reality worth staying in.
