[QUOTE="NLS, post: 86476, member: 20102"] MicroSloth was a bit "stupid" (in fact very smart) in allowing Windoz to be widely pirated for years. Windoz major income was from OEM and companies anyway (that were the only ones a bit "enforced" to be legal). This allowed for Windoz (that back then SUCKED HARD compared to other OS) to spread like a virus. Initially people that wanted to have the same OS at home as they have at work, programmers etc. Then everybody. I was there and saw it happening (oh do I have stories). Now all of us have at least one Windoz machine. And now MicroSloth comes enforcing Windoz to be legal even at households. Now you ("you" doesn't mean you specifically) cannot do otherwise (and even if you still can do otherwise, the time comes that it will be so hard to keep doing otherwise and you will loose so much by doing it, that you will prefer to pay for them anyway). So the Trojan horse project worked. Didn't it? MS Win is the most spread Trojan horse. Sorry for the off topic but Steeb asked. :) (and an excuse to say thanks to the devs too: thanks people once more!) [/QUOTE]
