Fucking paying a monthly fee. After a couple of years you just end up paying 10 times what it should've normally cost. isn't it also effective at reducing piracy of software? Microsoft has reduced piracy by making their software have no real copy protections. You can download Windows or Office directly from them, install them, then don't activate your license. They continue working but they just make you feel bad or try to like the WinRAR popup. microsoft seems to also have the benefit of having their software preinstalled on a bunch of hardware and the companies making this hardware happen to be paying customers that don't bother pirating so that's a massive (nearly guaranteed) revenue stream. it seems a little unfair to compare other software companies to microsoft for this reason. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:905518806] in what's the...
