Dollar wise comparison between Iraq war and software sales
 

Bush is asking for an extra $80bil to fund the war in Iraq.

Coming straight from BSA:

"The study found that while $80 billion in software was installed on computers worldwide last year, only $51 billion was legally purchased."

Now it's easier to realise the meaning of a lot of money.

It's because Windows for home users costs $500 when it should cost $50.. People using it for work, sure, $500+ would be fine if it was stable.
