Actually, this kind of attitude of pirating M$ software and selling CDs for a buck each, has a tendency mostly in a third world countries where Microshaft can't enforce domestic intellectual prpoperty law if any exists. Judging by the name of the author of this proposal, I would say that he is a lucky one. In the Shariat Law of the Middle East Countries has nothing to say about stealing non-physical things like software. Otherwise if a theave is cought, domestic authorities will chop off his/her left hand and sometimes left foot for the first offence and the rest of traits for all others. Isn't it nice? Vassalom aleikum, Salman Alex (Iskandar) think.
Whenever I needed MicroCrap software, I always had my brother send me the CDs through someone.....cost $1 a CD.
Now MS Office $4 (4 CDs) Visual Studio Enterprise $3 Windows 2000 Advanced Server $2
Total of $9...still cheaper than Linux.
