Microsoft's “We Share Your Pain” Program

[shantanu]

^^ hey praka123 i didnt say that T_Y_F is with PIRACY... i know that many people think the correct way... whether they are OSS or CSS
__________
OK BB

as you say it...

 

[planetcall]

believe it or not........we are yet to grow up. If we start paying genuine softwares then the overall cost of S/W would gobble the expense of buying a PC. Piracy is imminent in the country like India. I don't comment whether its good or bad but it is gonna stay. Microsoft is ploughing hard to weed out piracy from china and other nations but that doesn't help much.
Definition of piracy is equally strange. If I buy a CD......the CD and its content are entirely mine. Now if I share or break or crush or burn it.....why the heck are others concerned ? It is a big debate on the ethics of ownership.
Piracy is not just limited to OS. How many of you (window users) have actually bought Nero, Photoshop, Pagemaker, WinampPro and various such popular softwares ? Even if my OS was genuine(by HP) then also I needed some more softwares so I had to follow piracy. I dont have much for buying softwares and I am not using Linux. So I conclude.....that for windows users...some form of piracy always exist !

 

[shantanu]

I dont think you are correct BUDDY !!!! You asked how many of your BUY NERO - it comes free with BURNERS... WINAMP.. its available free on NET

Photoshop , pagemaker : I think Who needs it BUYS it.. : Professional buy it for sure..

and If you buy a DISK then if its your material ... and You are responsible ,, so Never dare To ask for Windows Update or help From Microsoft...


its only because of people like you that PIRACY is GROWING DAY BY DAY

and yes i dont say that i am clean in this field... many times i also bought PIRATED GAMES.. but that was when i was a KID... thereafter i always BOUGHT Original games...

and if anyone says about my mistakes... I KNOW WHAT CAN be DIGGED out out.. in them..

@planetcall:
perhaps trying the FLOSS softwares can solve this problems,hence piracy.there is a project called GNU WIN for Open Source Softwares for win32,
check it out.

Re: Microsoft's “We Share Your Pain” Program

U shudn't say anything like that having only one sided experience!

what? did i say anything wrong?prove me wrong
And who said i have never used linux. I had installed various distros of linux n have Ubuntu cds lying around(cant run them becoz of some hw incompatibility)
can u play PC games on a mac or linux? will i be able to download torrents watch movies listen to mp3s in linux.

yeah i know some of these things r possible but if u arnt a geek(80% of the PC users arnt) then only windows is an option.

And I have original WinXP n have never faced any probs with activation or anything.

U r wrong Buddy...The Nero that comes with burners is Demo only...and Winamap Pro is a paid software..Winamp basic is free..not the pro version.

 

[shantanu]

WHO The Hell said you that NERO which COMES WITH BURNER is DEMO...

I our shop we have sold THOUSANDS of DVD-RW, CD-RW and COMBOS and i myself used nero 5 , 6 and now 7 .. they all are OEM full versions ,, not DEMOS... When you dont know Dont speak

Ask anyone in this forum about this,,, i think you never had or installed NERo by your OWn or never purchased a RW... ...

You are trying to PROVE what is WRONG... MY GOD

You can Play games on Linux.
i am downloading all my torrents for the past years on Debian GNU/Linux only.Linux is not only for geeks..
I can easily here mp3,can view/write dvds,view .wmvs,quicktime,realplayer all...and i am doing all this without Windows OS that fanboys are proud off.
the basic thing is Linux cant bundle most of these formats due to the software patent sword hanging above,spearheaded by the devil himself.so dont bash Linux.if u want all those multimedia enabled by default,try Linux-mint,freespire.

YES!

Not some but all of these things!
Read this n Njoy!

And who said i have never used linux.

From ur statements, it really doesn't looks like that u have ever stepped into linux world! So Please stop following rumours from now on. Experience it for urself and then speak!

And I have original WinXP n have never faced any probs with activation or anything

Very good!

shantanu stop showing arrogance. Nero that comes bundled is a bundled edition. There are difference between a bundled and enterprise edition. Now I suggest you shut up and stop flaming in bold.

its only because of people like you that PIRACY is GROWING DAY BY DAY

and yes i dont say that i am clean in this field... many times i also bought PIRATED GAMES..

Isnt that idiotic ? Lol dont blame me. You just contradicted yourself.

check it out.

Yea bro, I am aware of Foss/Floss but most of them are yet to meet the professional level attained by many commercial products. For example...nothing comes close to MSOffice in Office Suits. Agree ? Similarly there are multitude of examples.
What I mean to say that some form of piracy does exist with everybody.

YES!

Movies, mp3s etc are not problem with mac or linux. but gaming is a different game all together. Linux is yet to see a boom in gaming arena. It stands no where in comparison to mammoth PC games released every year. But I admit, the future is of linux and linux is maturing very fast. I have used ubuntu to a great extent and I do have a balanced view of both OS.

 

[anispace]

the only point i want to make is that Linux is still not good enough(yeah i admit it will be in the future) for a average pc user n a mac requires its own hardware (ok macosx can be installed on a pc..but thats a diff thing).
so naturally people prefer windows.

@mediator
what PC games can u play on Linux?
I am not a windows fanboy n i admit that i am not a Linux pro(only installed it out of curiosity) but gaming(by games i mean NFS, GTA, COD, FIFA, HL, Farcry etc) on Linux still largely dosnt exist.

 

[AshishSharma]

Yeah linux has a long way to go before it can measure up to MS.

 

[eddie]

There are difference between a bundled and enterprise edition.

I very rarely use Nero (if ever) but would like to know about those differences and the ones that you regularly use. Just curious.

In Linux,these games are emulated as on a win32 environment.there is a software called WINE.there are different projects born from WINE and the best out of it is a paid one: cedega earlier known as winex from a company called transgaming.most famous games(windows versions!) can be played in UNIXens.
another project is called crossover office which allows install of M$ office etc.

So until upto the point when gaming corporations port native UNIX version of games,We,Linux/*NIX users are not at all in a loss,we can play most games although cedega,crossover office etc are paid ones as those games are too.

He asked if it can be done! I'm not talking about the comparison. Neways I'm glad that my favourite game => "kof 98 " runs on linux better than on windows.

the only point i want to make is that Linux is still not good enough(yeah i admit it will be in the future) for a average pc user n a mac requires its own hardware (ok macosx can be installed on a pc..but thats a diff thing).

Can u describe an "average user" in ur own terms please?

so naturally people prefer windows.

That is quite biased view actually. I think u aren't a full time mac or linux user. May be thats y u r making guesses!
Here's some nice explanation to why people "naturally prefer windows". Its not about its "ease" (dunno whats so easy in it when the noobie has to callsystem engineers all the time). If that was the case then y rn't they using Mac (which my brothers here say is the most easy to use)? Its mostly about ignorance of people about other OSs! I hope u can compare the popularity of linux 5 yrs ago and now. Why r people moving to linux now? Is it something they prefer naturally or has to do with awareness about other OSs now? I advice u to read debates here on win Vs linux, and other similar topics first. That wud save every one from repeating same old stuff again.

but gaming(by games i mean NFS, GTA, COD, FIFA, HL, Farcry etc) on Linux still largely dosnt exist.

Ofcors they dont exist. But that doesn't mean that they can't exist. There r games like unreal tournament and other heavy duty games that run. U can google to find them. I'm not much of a hardcore gamer, so I dont know all about it. Read this...a thread containing some games. Or u can create a thread in OPENSOURCE asking members to tell u some linux games. I bet u'll be surprised by the response. Its not as advance as windows, but it surely has progressed a lot!

am not a Linux pro(only installed it out of curiosity)

I guess this ends it all. Now try to be more curious and explore it (like u used to explore windows when u were noobie and used to call a system engineer everytime when u were stuck with a problem).So explore it before speaking any further!
