I got a lawsuit in the mail about microsoft

[w1ngzer0]

Well aparently the state of arizona is sueing microsoft for overcharging users in the state more then what most would pay for their products. It kind of scared me at first then i read on and aparently i could get some money lmfao. How damn funny

I bought windows xp when it first came out. I paid something like 145 dollors after taxes. I think thats normal. I have no idea. lol

[Nathan]

You bought software? You could be considered a very rare person indeed among those I associate with!

[[Zero-S]]

Oh gosh...you actually paid for windows?

Wow...just...wow.

[hannibal]

and you wonder why they have to overcharge...

[Jesda]

I paid for Windows. Big thanks to the street vendor in Bangkok for the discount.

[Mr1der]

dude, way I see it, if you paid for it, you got ripped off:D

[nab911]

I have paid enough for software in my time to justify what i havnt paid for. I have been working with computers for 10 years now and i couldnt tell you how much i have spent... until i learned

[I30T]

and you wonder why they have to overcharge...

exactly.

[SeVa-S13]

It's too bad MS an't take the hit with their puny monetary resaources and all. I've paid for Windows a couple times. After I paid for 95, I swore to never do it again.

hahaha..

[hannibal]

haha, see Anand's post in this forum...

[w1ngzer0]

[jdmfreak]

Well, I think you should get in on that too.

[hannibal]

Lets see...$1.06 million100,000?? Windows users in AZ

Wow, you'll get $10.60 Wonder how much they overcharged...

[w1ngzer0]

[hannibal]

Hey, if they wanna hand out $10 bills, I'll get in line!

[Cyberkreig]

Ha! I just purchased windows XP from my school yesterday, tho i have had it installed for a while. Total after Student discount = $10.

[fiznat]

I know it has nothin to do with the thread but Cyberkreig your S13 looks friggin sweet in that pic.

[Cyberkreig]

Thanks man! I'm not too happy about the offset on the rims, but I cant afford 5lug.. And i do like the color so i can deal.

I didnt know you sold your car?

[fiznat]

yeah, bad rust problems...

I'm looking for a hatch shell, preferably black--- lol so anytime you feel like blowing your motor and selling the shell go right ahead!

Haha, that is how I got all of my software. I could get all Microsoft software for $10 when I was back in college. I kind of miss that.

[s13EastTN]

I got xp pro, Visual studio .net 03, office .net 03, and tons of other stuff free my my school. It's all legal and it's all great :p

[masticatingcow]

Ditto on the school hookups. I have a ton of Adobe software that after student discounts and rebates cost me next to nothing...

But as far as Windows goes, I have never paid for it, nor do I plan to. I think that by the time my version of Windows is absurdly outdated, my whole computer will be... and knowing MS, whatever new computer I get will COME with the latest and greatest Windows preinstalled.

... and knowing MS, whatever new computer I get will COME with the latest and greatest Windows preinstalled.

That is the exact reason why they SHOULD NOT overcharge for windows. They make all of their money back from big computer companies like HP and Dell since they run it as their operating system. If they sold it for 20-25 dollars more people would buy it and they would probably end up making more money in the long run.

[MidwayParts]

I got the same letter. Not sure what to make of the lawsuit except maybe the 10 bucks you guys are talking about. Gotta love suing the man. Its like an American label anymore.
