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.

Well if M$ won't pay up for their pirated software, then why should I pay for mine?

*ducks*
 
yeah...isnt anyone going to put this on the front page??
 
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...:rolleyes:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
