->  TW>  An Assinine ratialiazion for Theft.

-> Doesn't have anything to do with my statement.

Think About it!!!


->  TW> There can be NO cross compairsion of the Cost of Hardware and Software.

-> How do you figure that?
                 
I don't think you really understasnd much Ecomomics.

->  TW> They are totaly different and follow different rules of economics.

-> 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.
                                                    
So you think people should give away the "Sweat of their Labors". While
it is all mental and not much Physical it does take a GREAT deal of
work to produce the very complex Software we all use. In some cases
tens thousands of times more Man Hours. And then there is the Thousands
of Hours needed for the Patches and Fixes.

-> Their own pricing structure has a great deal to do with the rampant piracy 
of
-> their OS.
                                          
The Rampant Piracy is the REAL market of GREED. Percentage wise they
make FAR more per Pirated CD than the REAL owner of the Intelectual
Property. 
Adn Piracy is all about Rampany DISHONESTY!!
 We are a World of Selfish, Selfcentered, Hurray for me SCREW you
THIEVES!!!
