Windows

Microsoft Windows sucks. Recently I bought a brand new copy of windows because I wanted to finnaly own my own windows XP CD rather than using school CDs that the Tech department used to give out when I was in college. All is well and good, except turns out your only allowed to use it on one computer. So, having installed it on a laptop AND my desktop, turns out it won't work at all on the desktop because I have to buy it TWICE to use it on a seperate computer in my one bedroom. This makes me furious. It's not cheap software, infact most software isn't cheap. But the idea that a person has to purchase TWICE something that they will never own, and never use more than ONE at a time, within the same room, really makes me mad. The definition "per computer" is stupid anyway. Exactly how many computers are in my computer? I think it's reasonable to assume that in this modern world most working professionals will have two computational devices. One stationary, one portable. Legally, the computer companies might be on solid ground, but legally so is the music industry and you can see what people think of stealing music. They think its fine. And why? Because the music industry treats it's loyal paying customers like crap when they are buying something that has no value with out them purchasing it. People don't care if it's against the law. Laws change. And if they don't? Well, sue a few thousand and another hundred million will still tell you to f*ck off. All power starts with the people and ends with the people.

We will abide by the laws as long as they abide by us.

Eugh. I'm so disgusted. How stupid a situation is it when the only people who have suffer for stealing software are the ones purchasing it? No foul for stealing- but if you have absolutly any legitimate fair-use your forced to pay through the nose.
