can't beleive you fell for that line...
when we don't have to deal with pirates then software will be cheaper for us honest folk....what a LOAD of crap. They been saying that lie for years. Software prices are not set on cost of manufacturing or amount of money that is made on each sale...the prices are set by maximizing profits and charging as much as the market will bear regardless of how many people pirate the software. The fact that you pay so much for your software just encourages high software prices, not lowers them. Vista is the most expensive and least pirateable version of windows yet. Microsoft is VERY successful and is making a profit, it's not like they have to charge so much to recoup piracy costs. Get your facts straight.
