yo... why don\'t you guys just get linux? its all free, all just as cool or cooler, and if you get wine or some other windows emulation programs, you can run ALL YOUR WINDOWS APPS ON THAT! you don\'t even need windows.... even when you crack ms software and \"[censored] them over\", you\'re still contributing to their dominancy.... the standard will become whatever they decide their documents should be formatted as, etc, and basically the more customers they get the more control they exert, even when you don\'t buy their software, but crack it and get it for free. linux mandrake is basically as easy to install as microsoft stuff, often more efficient, so much cooler graphically, and just generally safer and more reliable... the markets for windows and linux are getting dramatically closer to each other, and soon they may almost be equitable.... just give it a try, and at least learn a little... you may even get better at your cracking if you get some software experience.... :-P
