Pirates! Arrrrrr, where's me bird?

Seriously though, MTOrlando has a good point. I am in the computer business (mostly repair and support), and there is almost no possible way to sell an honest PC with duly licensed software anymore. The competition from the garage builders and volume dealers like Dell makes it very unprofitable for a small computer dealer to sell honestly licensed systems.

I got out of the hardware business a couple of years ago... every now and then I quote a system, and I've found I can usually get pretty close to Dell and Gateway, but the pirate builders around here are cutthroat - they'll sell a white box with the latest OS and pro version of Office for 5% over hardware cost.
