Not everyone needs photoshop! There are free alternatives available for AV, Office.

^^thats why you chose to pay for it isn't it?

Yes Sir Shame on people who use pirated OSes even for commercial use. I leave students out of the shameless people category.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^and I pity all those who have paid for Vista. ::.just joking.

Yeah pity on me for using the best OS(No discussions here plz)

Yeah we have Linux Its a matter of personal choice. If someone likes Linux that's good, if someone likes Windows that's even better

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^agreed.lets don't discuss it here.Matter of personal choice.


But cyber cafewallas and all commercial entities should pay M$ what they rightfully deserve.

 

[praka123]

Linux should be known to those pirates and also to those who thinks Linux is not yet to the level of user-friendliness for an average user.also windows buyers shud know what they are doing!i mean supporting a monopoly to be even more richer!and the monopoly is without any ethics(DRM,sueing Linux et al).

Windows and Office work fine—Why worry about it?

In Gurgaon, in our Sector specifically, some people were ringing the doorbell saying that they are here to check whether your computer is having Genuine Windows XP or not and were also asking the name of the dealer from which you had bought the computer.

It isn't a monopoly, sir! I cannot understand why everything is against ethics when MS does it! And if anybody has a problem with DRM, don't use Windows Vista. As far as suing Linux is concerned then MS has the right to sue it! Eg.- Lindows, Vixta LOL
