Smile Microsoft convicted of software piracy
Delicious irony has geek community in raptures

Microsoft was found guilty of software piracy last year by a French court, according to facts unearthed today by the geek community.

But the Redmond giant's conviction and three million franc (£285,000) fine somehow managed to escape the headlines. In fact, until today the only place the story has appeared is in French newspaper Le Monde Informatique.

Actually, if the conversation goes on in the chatroom, I will never see it...I can't seem to get in!

I know it is me...just haven't figured out what I am doing wrong yet...
