    I believe that Windows is too expensive at the moment. I'd be willing to pay up to 50 bucks for a decent OS, but never 300 or any number like that. I can barely afford to pay my bills as it is. Besides, after working with ME for 12 months because I had nothing better I don't think I have to pay for another version of Windows no matter how good it is.. not when it is freely available elsewhere.

    Now if it was a reliable company with a good track record, then I might think differently.

    Because I know how to get if for free.

    Do I feel guilty? No.

    1) Price
    2) Product Activation
    3) Possible problems with older software
    4) Older version of Windows is working fine. Why update?

    Because I didn't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a not-so-great product.

    I didn't pay for XP because I beta test for Microsoft and they always send me the gold versions on completion. Not that I would pay for any Microsoft OS if I didn't get them for free, of course.

    My PC came with XP Home version and I hated it.
    I reformatted my hard drive and used my *cough* purchased copy of Windows 2000.

    ...because it was available for free from the net.

    Got it about 20 days before shipping day. About a week or 2 after it went gold.
    Please help me get my free IPod and get one for yourself also!

    Good photo, lmao!!!!
    Insert sig image here

    Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".
