Ofcourse they are not ripping us off, the small fact that Bill Gates is the richest guy in the world because of MS is a minor detail eh?
He could easily drop the price of his products and still make a lot of profit.
lol gohan that pic was taken when they got the "FREE DAY OF MIRRRRRR OMFG JOIN NOW FOR FREE DAAAYYYYYY!!!!!" -_-

How Many People Bought MS Products?
We Do Not Know How Much He Pays His Programmers, His Artists Or His GUI Developers So We Cannot Say If He's Ripping Us Off.
The Fact That He Is The Richest Man In The World Shows He Is A Good Business Man, Or His Products Are The Best On The Market.
It depends what you call a good business man, yeah he has the best products on the market, but then again there is no real other products opposing his, except for linux and all, but that's hardly a problem for MS.
And really, if you honestly believe they couldn't drop the price and still make lots of profit, then you need to get your head checked.
The reason why he asks a lot, is because you can't buy similiar stuff anywhere else anyway.
Then He Doesn't Need To Drop The Prices.
He Is A Good Business Man, In This World It's Dog Eat Dog, And He's The Kebab Man Selling The Left Over Meat.
I don't see your point here, except for thinking just like him, just because you CAN rip off people doesn't mean you HAVE to rip people off.
We Do Not Know If He's Ripping Us Off TBH
Until We See The Figures, We Cannot Say
Well the fact that he has like 40 billion dollars should say enough...
EDIT: Got the numbers mixed up, still 40 billion ain't bad...

What He Has Yes
The Company Is A Seperate Body, He's Just The CeO. He Never Even Created Microsoft, And He Does Not Own It. He Created Windows And Sold It To Microsoft
Thus = Richest Man In The World
Microsoft is the number 15 on the list of richest company's....
Noticed Another Thing Regarding Your Point
You Said They Could Lower The Price And Still Be In Profit.
They Have To Pay Wages, Advertising, Packing, Mass Production And Distribution.
And TBH You Can't Argue With
Look you don't have to tell me that you can't go anywhere else to get your OS, however that doesn't make it less ripping off.
And they are earning lots of money, they really can drop prices, trust me...
But I Can't See Why They Should
They Can't Overcharge You Because Its Against The Law, They Are Allowed To Make So Much Profit. The RRP Is Based On Man Hours, Materials, Any Other Costs + Profit
You can't see why they should? Maybe to make it for people cheaper to buy it, hows that for a reason?
Would You Lower The Price Of Your Services, Knowing They Are The Best In The Market, And Making You Alot Of Money Just So People Can Get It Cheaper?
If i would already make lots? Yeah sure, why not.
After You Have Got Used To A Certain Lifestyle That Requires High Amounts Of Cash To Keep Up?
I'm Not Sure You Would, I'm Not Saying Some People Wouldn't, But Not Many People Would.
I Wouldn't Work For Less Than What I Could Earn TBH
Look man, those people are very, very rich, they will never be able to spend all that money...
So?
If I Was That Rich I Would Be Estatic Knowing That My Childrens Children And So Forth Would Never Have To Suffer
Everytime I see a topic like this (usually about software or music downloading) it seems like someones trying to justify for something they know isn't right. Prices are too high for a lot of things I will agree on that, but does it make it right..
I Admit I Download Some Software Which I Consider To Expensive For Me To But (EG Adobe Photoshop) But Everything Else I Buy.
I Also Admit Adobe Is Worth The Price It Is As Its Awesome Lol
Yeah don't get me wrong I'm no saint myself but I do know right and wrong but I couldn't tell you one person that owns a computer (that I know) that doesn't do some sort of copying/downloading that fringes on being "wrong".
Just how it is.
The absolute bare minimum :tp:
If i payed for everything i have on my puter i'd have to work 10 years to pay for it o.O
