You paid for it. You installed it. It worked. Then it didn't work.

Oops.

Just wait till they do it to Big Oil or Big Bank. Only then will the legality of WGA will be challenged. Do it twice or three times and Linux will take over in weeks. And Billy boys monopoly will cease to exist.

Individually we have no power. Collectively, with a good class action and a good lawyer I think we could probably threaten a dent in MS's pocketbook. Sometime in the next hundred or so years they might even pay up. The whole EU cant make them pay. I think the US courts are still allowing appeals over the Exxon Valdez so what chance do we stand.

I use MS XP Pro cos it came with the box and some software I like to use only runs on MS. If that wasn't the case then i would be using UBUNTU Linux.

just my 2c worth
