Think again.

Woah. I wonder who the employee was that used a pirated serial number when calling in for support... or why Microsoft, a company that surely comes up with its own ideas, software, and code from the ground-up, needs to have anybody calling anybody else...

(don't forget, they openly tolerate piracy. Only when it benefits them. Otherwise it's an eeeeeeevil thing to do. Effing double-standards.)

1. I often wonder about
people that post items from 2002 and 2007. Is your axe sharp yet?
