tbh I don't believe in ripping off companies. If they don't have the money how can they bring out new versions?
I just want opinions - don't start flaming or I'll have yo motha fuckin' asses banned cha'mone!
We ripping them off? Lol just check Microsoft, they are ripping us off, well you anyway, because i never paid for it, although i do have a original Win98. :D

anyhoo the companies that release the shiz should get enough money from them top business people, those guys who get 200 quid internet connection just to send emails....lol
I Buy All My Games, Except Warcraft II Which U Can't Buy Anymore, But Adobe Photoshop 7 I Downloaded.

And that all while you hadn't paid? o.O
Cap, u r an idiot u had a fine cracked version of XP but u had 2 buy the real thing that has no differences 4 100 and odd quid, well tbh its ur own fault, it was a waste of money. Its not as if Microsoft dont have enuf money.
Yeah but I went out and bought the fucker. And it wasn't a waste of money. Just like buying Norton wasn't and buying Office XP Pro wasn't. Yes I could of had them on copy, nps but I just don't like copied stuff anymore. It ain't the way.Quote:

It's like this, most company's are ripping you off, Microsoft could make windows much cheaper, but hey they want to make themselfs richer and richer, and that while lots of people already use copied versions, they are asking way to much.
Consider This, Prices Have To Be Increased Becoz Many People Are Using Pirate Software

Exactly.
dont buy any :x
If you think your going to lower the price by buying it then your wrong...Quote:

Besides it's bullshit, they make most profit from companys who buy lots of them.
Just like Photoshop, almost no one buys it, except for company's.
Also Windows (95 and up) never was cheap, even when it didn't got copied.
Don't give 2 shits but sofeware, not paying:tp:
CDs on the other hand- I actually care about the music business lol so I try and buy as many proper CDs as I can. The fact that they r way overpriced stops me from buyin all the CDs I want tho...
I will buy computer games and stuff if i want to play them online, therefore needing a CD key. I will also buy games that I like coz i dont like having good companies screwed over, altho overpriced packages like windows etc i wudnt pay 4.
pfffft....i don't tink that their prices r rong, since i've started 2 learn programation, now i know how much trouble is 2 make a OS i don't tink that the effort of teams with more then 100 persons and 2 years of hard work should be cheap -.-Quote:

oh and btw do you really tink that the get their profits from us? home users :eek: the big moneys is on the companies that they provide with services i would say we r like 10% if that much of their profit
EDIT: http://www.xxxpasswordz.tk/ gohan try this as ur a porn lover u gonna like this syte ;)
Griffin as i said before "Besides it's bullshit, they make most profit from companys who buy lots of them."
Anyway i really don't feel sad for MS, they are ripping millions of people off with their products, i really don't care if they loose some money.
I Really Don't Think They Are Ripping Us Off TBH
I Started To Learn Programming And Shit And The Time And Effort Involved In Making A Big Project Is Unreal.
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!!!!!" -_-
He Is In This Business For A Profit.Quote:

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

Hehe that's still nothing compared to what you would have to pay if you would get caught. :D
If they would get my brother to pay for everything he got then he would be paying for a long time, he has like 100 copied DVD's, about 200 illegal games, and like 150 illegal programs.
For the last time, blow up dolls are NOT women. :DQuote:

office 2000, the version i got wud hav cost
FUCK paying for shit FUCK microsoft
Linux all the way...it's free, unless ur using it for business, so u then have to pay...
That's the way it shud be...ppl write programs for businesses but give it away free to the public...Microsoft/Bill Gates hates the whole idea of Linux...it's like Capitalism vs Communism...
Bill Gates and Microsoft want ppl to copy their shit tho...have u seen the copy protection on their Windows CD's? lol they went to the great effort of printing 'Do Not Make Illegal Copies of This Disk'. hahaha it so ferkin obvious, they want global software domination and they almost have it, bar for the few unix/linux users :cool:
well i usually look for software in bargain bins and stuff. Its not like the companies lost out..only the shops =X. Naw, I mean..when PSP 7 came out...
Which also quotes my msn name...SHOOT BILL GATESQuote:
