How exactly is theft considered justice?
----
Theft is not the justice. The justice is the breaking of the mile-thick bubble of arrogance and predatory marketing that surrounds MS. One has to only read the EULA agreement that comes with Vista, and have knowledge of what MS does to its OEM customers to understand. It is not a pretty picture and the reason I, and many others, will never buy another (even Vista) operating system from MS.

I, for one, do not approve of software piracy, even if I do disagree with some of the predatory strongarm tactics Microsoft uses. In my opinion, if you disagree, just don't buy their product and they will change. Personally, I enjoy using some of their products, and have heard Office 2007 is nicely done.

Problem is, they do try to structure it so you HAVE to buy their product. Anyway, I was looking a an installation CD of Windows XP the other day, and it said "Made in China". Given that China has zero respect for intellectual property rights, the irony is, in a somewhat twisted way, amusing.
