OK you MAC and Linux folks
Code is code and 1 and 0's. Your MACs and Linux machines aren't as safe as you think...Oh wait didn't they already have a virus for a MAC and Linux well,the average user doesn't get or want to use the OS anyway. I believe there are viruses and trojans there too. I read an article on Linux security issues, hmmm, where was that. I saw it on here.
Lets get real. This is a crime and this has to stop. All blackmail/extorsion is illegal. I think you missed the point, well, some of you.....Hey whoever said the OS deactivates in 45 days is the same thing as this is wrong. Stealing software, music, movies, and written words is illegal too.
By the way I use Linux, Windows , and MAC, so I say no software is ever going to be 100% bug proof.
