I pirate all my Microsoft software . I buy pretty much all other software from other companies but Microsoft are just so immoral and continually get away with using their monopoloy to cause massive over-charging.

£120 for a student copy of office!!!!!!!
What a rip-off!!!
...thats on top of the £150 Microsoft tax whenever a new computer is brought, just for a 'new' version of windows which is practically identical to the last one (now the bar at the bottom of the screen is BLUE!!!!!! - wow)

I haven't got much money, although I think software companies desrve sales like all other companies, the way Microsoft gets away with commercial murder through anti-compedative behavious which is then forgotten about by the president they sponsor means they aren't getting a penny of mine!
