Ya know boys and girls, all of you have a very good point. Mainly, with M$ going after the pirates, it will help protect the little guys from getting beat. On the other hand, how many times do you think the average consumer buys/gets an o/s or an upgrade, or other software, burns it and gives it away to all their friends - an so on and so on........?

You think the big culprits are the distributors, and other small businesses that are pirating and costing M$ money? Think again. That is part of it, but I will bet that more theft of software occurs in the home than in business. Whadaya think? All those CDRW are being sold and installed to get the napster trash? Yeah, right.....

As an OEM Builder I support M$ 100% although personally, I beleive that their product is WAAAAAAYYYYY overpriced. As far as sending the emails? Who cares, it gives them something to do and for me something to read. Besides, it's great when your competitor gets nailed for being stupid.
