Note that Max said "cannot prove, to *their* satisfaction, was licenced
properly". When the SPA invade your business (homes are unlikely to be
targets in practice, because the numbers don't justify the effort), it
matters not a jot how many licences you bought - all that counts is the
number of stickers on the backs of PCs, or the number of "certificates of
authcenticity", that you can find. Very, very few people could produce full
proof of their licences for everything on their PCs, even when everything is
fully paid for. I have no idea where the licence certificate for my VB3
is - our company has moved twice since I bought it. In the eyes of the SPA,
that makes me a theif.
>Are you advocating rampant software piracy?
>
MS uses the SPA as their hitmen. They are not the slightest bit interested
in whether a business has bought all their current licences - they want them
to buy more licences regardless. The idea behind the SPA's actions are to
scare other organisations into buying new licences to replace those that
cannot be found or properly identified (as well as to buy licences for
software that was illegally copied).
Most businesses and organisations have illegally copied software here and
there. But most of it is non-essential. For example, a small company with
5 PCs might have a single copy of some project management software. Most of
the time, there is only one person using it, and that's all they need. But
they other employees might also have a copy installed for convenience, so
that they can view the files on-screen rather than printing them out.
Legally, this is piracy, but it is costing the software company nothing.
When discussing piracy, it is important to think of the *real* costs, not
the figures MS (and other companies, to a lesser extent) bandy around. Yes,
piracy is illegal, immoral and a problem for the industry, but it is not
nearly the problem MS make it out to be. The SPA is just a new trick for MS
to try to get paid more for something they have already sold (like their
double-charging for drive image installations).
Don't forget that piracy made MS what it is today. If people had always had
to pay for MS products, they would never have used them in the first place.

That's 'perfected', not 'profected'. And no, they didn't. It's still
in R&D, and there's some question as to whether it actually works the
way they say it will.

Wrong again. Theoretically, the latencies in holographic storage

lower.

Because, if a customer chose the (lower priced) DR-DOS, he was charged
EXTRA because Microsoft had arm-twisted the OEM's into paying for an
MS-DOS license REGARDLESS of whether it was installed and shipped or
not.
Microsoft's criminality goes all the way back to the early 1980's...
Hell....back to the 1970's.... MS-BASIC was plagiarized from BASIC
for the DEC PDP-11.

The REAL mistake was that the original Macs had ZERO expansion slots.
Up until that time, LOTS of hobbyists were more than willing to pay
the relatively high costs for an Apple ][, ][+, or //e
But...with no expansion slots....a lot of Apple affecionados were
rather offended.

Wrong. M$ shoved their product down peoples' throats. IF you ordered
a computer with DR-DOS, the OEM was FORCED to purchase an M$ license
for that computer anyways (and of course, that cost WAS passed onto
the consumer).

It goes back to the 1970's.
Gates once showed up at a convention....complaining that Software
stores were pirating MS-BASIC...the *SAME* Basic Interpreter which
he plagiarized from a source code printout of DEC PDP-11 BASIC.

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
