microsoft is glutton for punishment. they first throttle every other company in this world, and dont let any other OS to compete.

there ought to be different pricing points for different people. there are people who want the the OS for less, but no microsoft decides to kill other operating systems with brute force, or any software that threatens thier monopoly. so the people who don't have the money to pay their software simply go for piracy(say most of the 3rd world countries).

now, microsoft with all their money can really donate software free of cost to these people instead of fleecing these people first and then act magnanimous (like bill gates does right now, does his charity). on the other hand they are really torturing the rest of the paying public with all these activation schemes, and put up with all kinds of hardship. these guys should be sent to the corporate gallows. each time they have wasted our time with their shoddy software right through the ages, they have killed us bye a wee bit, just a tiny poke of the sword each time!!!
