| 555078 | 2007-06-02 04:25:00 | PedalSlammer do you want to re post that... I can hardly understand that the hell you are on about... I mean "Why do pirates are so nasty to the businesses?" really! :groan: How about you get the hell off PF1 and get the admin to delete your account never to return with your aditude :D No CD cracks, I use them too... saves wearn and tear on discs and saves copying them to avoid damaging the original... and i also keep ISOs of all my CDs (note PedalSlammer MY LEGAL CDs :rolleyes: ) incase of damage to the original... software is not cheap... which is why I like to look after what I buy and I have a backup if the original gets damaged... And according to Wikipedia No CD cracks are legal so... |

I mean I happy with a software with full trials around 15-30days, but some didn't. So? After testing the software I find that it cannot be accessible but a full version does, and after buying that software, I felt like wasting money and those software ain't cheap either. :groan: After that, I'm starting to get annoyed from some vendors, so started to get some free serials to have a run, and if I don't like the software I just delete it. And that really helps because now you can have full functions. I mean if you really like it why not buy it?(That's what the message said on the serials web) From this way, I think you can save $$$. I mean BitDefender is a very good anti-virus software, even there are some serials on the serials web work like normal, but I rather buy because they did a good job, and hope they maintain this standard. I'm not saying warez are bad, it just that people are taking advantage of it too much. So softwares got insane price tag, so I suggest some companies to lower down their prices and sell more and make more profits not high prices and sell less. i.e. Norton have insane price tag and resource hog and couldn't even block viruses and ad-wares, but BitDefender got a low price tag and their software is good. This will increase pirating? Yes, for the people who really want give and no return. |

"those software ain't cheap" software is like a generic term meaning "those software" is not correct... "that software" if talking about a specific program is correct else it is just "software is not cheap" :rolleyes: |

This will increase pirating? Yes, for the people who really want give and no return. Apart from companies like Microsoft who have had up to 90% profit margin on Windows and Office, the majority of companies out there invest millions of dollars in developing software and employing skilled software developers on biggish salaries to write the stuff. Many of those companies also do very well when their idea is successful since software profit margins can be far greater than hardware margins There is also the small issue of Intellectual Property whereby you can continue to receive $$ in royalties everytime your software is sold which makes perfect sense if you were the person who had the vision to get the who thing off the ground in the first place. It is much harder to invent something successful than it is to rip off someone else's successful idea. That is why Microsoft has to spend 6 billion $$ on Vista and countless billions each year on R&D with not many profitable products coming to market for all their efforts. |

Yes, it is... and that is why the cost of Vista is so high... | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||

Vista is not "worth" anywhere near the prices MS charges. MS could sell 400 million copies of Vista for a lot less than the current asking prices and still make a huge profit, considering that they only write once and stamp 400 million times - assuming they sell 400 million copies of course. |

| 555086 | 2007-06-02 06:15:00 | Hmm, yes you are right... I guess I never reall worked out the math... and if they sold 400'000'000 and they had spent 6'000'000'000 that means each copy would be $15 I assume that you have used USD? OK then, I retract my last statement :) | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
