Dunno about him, but usually I do. I'm the only Linux "freak" in the
office, though, so that's kinda expected from me.

> most of us, we still crack, and search, and crack...

us? No. You Windows users, yes.

> most of us...

Actually, you're right. I suppose Microsoft is kinda happy that *their*
software is stolen that often. I mean, this *HUGELY* increases their
installation base which gives them A LOT more power. Wasn't it Bill
Gates himself who said something like "If software is copied in China,
it better be ours?".

But then again - Why do you steal in the first place? Yep, because the
software is too expensive. And why is it too expensive? Because too
few people are buying it. Now, if more people would buy the software
and NOT be criminal, the price would drop.

And again - you have the choice. If the license requires you to pay,
you have to. Everything else is just criminal. Quite more so, if it's
not done privately but in the Office.
