Their shake-down tactics must not be working very well, if they need to make the "reward" five times bigger. All the more reason to ditch Winblows completely, and go with an OS that's actually fix-able when a problem shows up. |

I really, really hope many people will call the BSA. Aside from bleeding money from MS it would also likely means that many businesses follow Ernie Ball's example and get rid of anything MS. |

Quoting:Aside from bleeding money from MS...Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I was under the impression that a significant percentage of their revenues went to the software companies they represent. Wouldn't this actually send money to MS? |

> Wouldn't this actually send money to MS? In the short term, it might. Depends on the reward/license fee ratio, etc. In the long term? I seriously doubt it. |

Scott - This simply must stop. You are giving BS a bad name. |

And as a certified grammar Nazi, I am obligated to mention that it's "you're all pirates", not "your all pirates". |

Best you apply some ointment to that lip you've been biting all this time. :) |

>Thank you, I didn't want to be the first to say it. Yes you did. You're just too polite to give in to it. |
| Scott_Ruecker Jul 04, 2007 7:25 AM EDT |
But I thought that using bad grammar on Pirates was ok? I figured that a one time large influx of revenue was worth contravening my morals and losing all my friends for... ;-) |

Aha! I knew it! Scott is Darl! You are so busted! Oh wait, Scott makes sense (most of the time), so never mind. |
