I buy those application legally which I find worth buying. I got original Windows XP Pro OEM which I bought over 4 years ago. I just backup my activation file so no need to re-activate all the times
Most of the application I use for my work are either free, or uber costly, like 3ds Max, Photoshop etc, I can't pay Rs 1.86 lakh for 3Ds Max man, so I pirate it.
In case of apple, as andy said ones they bundle ilife & one of the Mac Ads try to convince us that Windows can do nothing that mac can do cos it doesn't have ilife, I mean, they even try to convince us that Windows comes with calculator only & there is no media player, movie maker, IM client in it by default. The thing is, they sale ilife & also bundle it for free with the Macs, saving themselves from Lawsuits, but if MS does it, they will be charged by a lawsuit, stating it's their monopoly act to kill the competition
Even providing WMP in Europe was stated as monopoly
Linux users are programmers, they are not designers, they don't know how to make it user friendly, all the know is how to manage the dependency hell etc. They talk about dll hell on Windows, lol, they compare Ubuntu 6.06 with Windows 98SE
we need more professionally paid designers like everaldo
back to the topic
This years WWDC was less then expected, whole year i was thinking Apple would thrash Vista with cool new features etc, which will be worth upgrading to leopard, but after watching the Stevenote, i don't think even leopard is ready
They only showed 10 features saying "we don't want other to be copied" this line is something i really hated, & the cult like Mac users should understand it, Mac are good designed machines, I still like the old round base iMac, although costly, but their users are pathetic minded, they treat themselves as elite cos they don't use Windows which the majority of people use, they think they are better then the rest, despite the fact that they also face problem, which as usual they never admit.
The only way i interpret the line above is "It's not stable enough yet"
