Everything Microsoft. I am so damn tired of paying for Windows every time I buy a computer [I probably own about 10-15 copies of Windows by now], that I believe I'm entitled for everything Microsoft makes.

Why do I even care about Microsoft software? Because our customers do.

I also believe Adobe owes me Photoshop, a letter with apologies plus one of their programmers should become my personal bitch for a week - for all the damage they've done to me with flash and acrobat reader. Sadly, we bought a copy of CS3, because my partners didn't feel this way.



I don't look at using software you've paid licenses for is piracy. My laptop came with Vista, I've installed Ubuntu on it and the Vista restore disc doesn't work in a VM. If I download and use another copy of Vista, it isn't piracy.


You can get all the free and legal Microsoft software (you even get two MSDN support calls) you want from Microsoft BizSpark. It's really easy to sign up.
