Dc where the hell are you buying your copies of windows and office from?!!

you should buy them from ebay, i get them for 5 quid each, they come on these nice blue CDs with silver sides and bill gates' own hand writing on them he even gave me the CD key

I gave good feedback!

Software piracy DOES reduce sales of software, that i can guarantee, for music it increases my purchases but for software it either stops me buying it when i get a pirated version or else if i cant find the software i dont bother with it. if i am desparate for it i may find an alternative but if i can pirate the software i wont buy it, unless it is really good!

We spend our lives being Microsoft's test bed for their software, we then get the honour of buying the next version that we beta tested for them over the year!
