Microsoft
Let me say this to all who defend Bill Gates, you are just pawns and are backing a company that has been found guilty of many thing in this world of software, and until they are ready to stop trying to be big brother and just make good products people would not want to crack it or hack it. Most do this as testers of the OS and then it gets leaked to P2P and other venues and it spreads. I have been in the software industry for over 20 years and Microsoft is one of the worse when it comes to fair market trade and will always be the target of hackers until they change thier ways. Look at apple, they don't have this problem as much as Microsoft. Why? Because they make good products and are not trying to own thier customers after the sell, and have great customer service to boot. People who buy legal copies are treated like hackers whenever they have to call for support, and are asked to repay for new keys when some patch screwed up thier legal copy, it's all about money with Bill and company, not customer care. I have legal copies of all of bills OS's and have had problems in the past and had to go through hoops to get things fixed even when thier new patch caused the problem. Bill just cares about his own pocket and just as some retialers, once the sale is done you are stuck and told to just deal with it. Many companies are now looking into other OS's due to the out right bulling of Microsoft, so will it happen in the consumer world as well. You all say go to linux, but if all go that route where wold that leave your bed buddy Microsoft? They say that if you lay in bed with dogs you will get flees.
