I would say 90% of you people here are probably on a windows pc machine. So what do you think about microsoft being an OS monopoly? Do you think because they are monopolizing that it ok to pirate there software?
monopoly means if one owns all. but if only 90% is owned, the remaining 10% makes it not a monopoly..
Neh, I don't think that gives us the right to pirate their software because they have a huge share of the market. It's also laziness of users I think; just go with the flow, the easiest solution is good enough>>>most users already use MS so other new users will likely to follow them.
put it this way. majority of us were raised with the ms os, it would be the same if it were any other os or software.
but were u using a mac at home. theres also the ease of use to contribute to this. and the fact that pirated software increases the popularity of ms. i mean, look how easy it is to get pirated ms shit.
I didn't understand a damn word you said... -lol but yea.. pc use a home.. but I miss that oregon trails up on 'em old MacinTosh!
dude slow down, iv seen so many new threads made by you. on topic though - your number of 90% is just pulled from thin air... u cant really base a thread on it. I honestly prefer apple computers and the apple OS, im only using windows because i cant afford the 2000+ dollars for a new macbook pro at the moment. Also, Microsoft isn't really a monopoly... they have steadily been losing market share to Linux and Mac Os 10, Iv even heard some stories of Dell preloading Linux onto some systems they sell. Even if they were a monopoly that most likely doesnt influence a person when they sit down and say 'im gonna pirate windows today'. More likely they are just trying to save a buck... or 200. I dont pirate a pixar film because i think that pixar has a monopoly on animated movies, i do so because its conveniant and it can save me some money. If i really like the film I will actually go out and buy it. Alot of people follow the same idea when pirating computer software, and that includes operating systems.
I am still using a Windows OS because I couldn't afford a Mac (with its superior graphics and pretty pretty white plastic finish ). But the OS on my laptop is not pirated (the laptop's warranty is void if they found out you use pirated software -- which they will if you got a problem and ask them to fix it). I can use Linux, which is for most part free, but I didn't bother to learn to use their command thing =_= not a computer person... And MS is losing its market share, otherwise they wouldn't have sunk SO low to copy Mac OS 10 design aspects.
what not a computer person...!? and you call yourself asian... -___-' lol how many times have I heard that one before... -lol macs are only good cuz those have those big ass... bad ass... monitors... although they load fast and crash less... macs are just not as easy to use.. or user friendly i should say...
lol yea they make that shit look better than a lot of TVs... all white n everything like some kinda holy device...
well look at that..u can talk about something other then penises in ppls mother's or ur own mouth...well done...
