Microsoft is sitting on $40Billion in cash and short term paper, you'd think they cut all the pirates some slack. Think they've made plenty dispite all the thievery, instead of still trying to pile up their hoard of dough.
Didn't they bust a pirating ring run by some Chinese woman? They had made something like $60 mil selling fake Windows copies all over the world...whee.

I thought the apple II brough computers to the masses. Of course computer porn just didn't look the same in glorious 16 color resolution.

Careful, its more like they found a bunch of copyed products worth $60 million, its the way the report those stories. They probably had found $60 million worth of software not that the people made $60 million off it. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Where were you back then??
Dude, Bill Gates fucking stole the GUI concept for Windows from Apple. If you want to thank anyone, thank Woz and Steve Jobs.
I totally admire and have the utmost respect for Bill Gates. He is a master at the explotaition of other peoples ideas. And there's nothing wrong with that, but give credit where credit is due.
