I am no great fan of Microsoft, but this is not about them - it is about pirates who take things that aren't theirs. Since when does FR endorse Robin Hood socialism? Just because the owner is a liberal weenie?

This is about folks like the Chinese stealing our technology - which they can't seem to devise on their own (look at the missile technology they stole when Loral's satellite mysteriously "blew up" during an failed launch).

Microsoft could cut the price in half and some third world j$rk $ff would still bootleg it.

If the Chinese really want to steal from Microsoft - legitimately - they can use open source Linux and develop the apps for same. Only then will MS think about reducing its price.

Erp! Don't look now, but that keyboard, mouse, monitor, and the ENTIRE CONTENTS OF YOUR COMPUTER (be it a MAC or a PC) were either made in China, Tiawan, or somewhere in Asia.
