Quoting:At the Morgan Stanley Technology conference last week in San Francisco, Microsoft business group president Jeff Raikes commented on the benefits of software counterfeiting. "If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else," he said. "We understand that in the long run the fundamental asset is the installed base of people who are using our products. What you hope to do over time is convert them to licensing the software." http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2007/03/12/mic... |

Isn't that basically the same message that Gates sent when he insulted China? Some things never change, huh? |

Steve Balmer needs to jump on this bloke and fast. We can't have someone saying that Piracy is good for business. |
