Doesn't have anything to do with my statement.

How do you figure that?

No they don't.  There is a direct correlation.  No body should be expected to 
pay 50% on top of the computer price for an OS.  It is ludicrous.  It is 
nothing more than greed that Microsoft continues to have these predatory 
prices.

Their own pricing structure has a great deal to do with the rampant piracy of 
their OS.

So now, people in third world countries now get to buy a "cheap" version of 
Windows XP.  What abolut the poor people in North America, why is it that they 
cannot also purchase it?

No, it is ludicrous that they can overcharge for their product when the rest of 
the industry has reduced their prices.
