Story: Microsoft's anti-piracy plan condemned
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 17 March 2005, 11:20 AM)
Its time that Microsoft slashed their prices for "boxed" products and equalled them to OEM prices and dropped those too. An office with 5 or 20 computers will look at the price of legitimately bought software when upgrading or reinstalling and see that it is considerable, the price of one or two whole new computer systems.
Microsoft can afford to give them the option to go legal. Their sales would go up more happily than by muscling THEIR CLIENTS.
Microsoft's anti-piracy policy will only benefit the large manufacturers who are already well tied into the market, in detriment of average computer shops.
