I used to have a cracked Windows, due to me paying for it, but the activation not working because I reformatted my computer every 3 months to keep it clean and apparently they only allow it to be installed so many times...

Now I use a Mac and don't have Apple telling me I can only reformat my computer and reinstall OS X 3 times or be forced to pay $100 for a new copy (Which by the way, OS X is only $30.)

It's quite common to see even major businesses in China still running Windows 2000 or XP as they were the last editions that didn't require activation.

There was a major issue a while back about a major Beijing law firm being caught using stolen software on all of their office machines.

You seem like the kind of fucking moron who needs to use a mac anyways. LOL format every 3 months? You gotta be fucking stupid to think that's a good idea.

I used Linux for a year before switching to OS X because of needing Photoshop, but thanks for your assessment of me based on liking to keep a fast and clean computer by reformatting every few months.
