If Microsoft didn't charge so much for their OS, piracy wouldn't be a problem. Even the OEM version for XP is $90, for the crappiest OS I have ever used. When I was building my machine I initially didn't have enough money for WIndows, and had to try Linux. My wireless network card didn't work because Linksys is too lazy and/or stupid to write a Linux driver or give us the specs to write one. Microsoft needs to make some smarter business decisions if they want to survive for the next 10 years.
