Piracy is not theft! It's Copy Right Infringement! If everyone paid for Windows, Microsoft wouldn't reduce the price they would just enjoy a lager profit margin! Think of the root of the problem why people used pirated software, the companies charge too much! Times have changed, the production and distriubtion costs are different to what they used to be and yet they charge the same price. How do you justify that? I don't support piracy but I DO UNDERSTAND why people do it. Piracy is what prevents the companies Microsoft or anyone else from sending prices sky high. By this I mean higher than they are already.
