[QUOTE="brad, post: 1164945, member: 552443"] I don't bootleg programs that help with my productivity either. I just cannot justify paying ~$130 for a program that I will use maybe once a year. The way I see it they didn't lose any money off of me because I wouldn't have purchased it anyway. I don't bootleg the programs I use the most. My latest purchases: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Ed. ~$3,100:eek: Windows Server 2003 Standard Ed. ~$600 Windows Server 2000 Advanced Ed. ~$400 Windows XP professional Ed. ~$100 Windows 2000 professional Ed. ~$100 Windows Longhorn beta ~free (for now) Microsoft Visio network version ~free SuSE 10.0 ~$100 Keeping a good software collection gets expensive fast. I am a student in Computer Networking and get a discount on these but I still have to pay for legal licenses and activation. [/QUOTE]
