Microsoft asks BANGLADESH to end piracy :o

[NetRyder]

must be the hardware

That's a very different story then. Selling pirated software is nothing like selling counterfeit hardware.

yeah, and the great thing is that creative took 'em head on.

Because the vast majority of us are not businesses or students, that's why.

a company with 20 000 computers isnt about to pirate their software.

Oh man, when did this turn into a Microsoft vs. open-source discussion? (Yeah, I'm equally responsible for it ). Don't get me wrong here. As I said earlier, I have absolutely nothing against open-source alternatives. 80% of the software I personally use is actually free or open-source.

Anyway, the original point I was trying to make is that you really can't blame only MS for cracking down on pirated software vendors. Like any other commercial software company, they're working for profits, and they will continue to sell software at whatever price they can, just like anyone else. They just get all the bad press because they're the biggest fish in the pond, although there are others who are equally "guilty" of overpricing software, that's all.

Sorry, excuse me.

But yes, i agree with you.
