Try accessing Windows Update with Firefox; it doesn't work. I am definitely NOT buying Longhorn, nor am I going to get a pirated copy of it. Likely you'll have to give your children to Microsoft in order to activate.
Right now in my start menu I have 9 pieces of pirated software. I am currently living below poverty level, through no fault of my own.
Although I pirate software, I believe that programmers should still get paid for their work. When I download software I am not recieving anything material, no packaging, no user manual, no cd.. only executable code. Who worked to create that code? The programmers.
I take note of every piece of software I download illegally, so that I can send donations to the software companies when I get the money. Of course I wouldn't donate the full price of the product (as sold retail). It doesn't make sense to pay more than the total cost of the software minus everything you didn't get (packaging, profit margins, manuals, cds).
