Its only a matter of time before they crack the encryption. Consumers should purchase every piece of software they own. Pirating is why software prices are so high.

I get M$ software for 10$ anyway

Windows 2003 Server -110$

After I have bought it from M$ for instance Windows XP Pro

I download Windows XP Corporate with sp2 integrated. I have paid for windows already so I feel no guilt...

If its something I REALLY REALLY want im going to play alot I buy it like doom3 or HL2

I might download them for a DVD version or loss of a CD.....

I get free microsoft software but through the Microsoft Playtest method. I'm on their list to phone and playtest late builds of upcoming games, and then I recieve 2 "gratuity" items.. I usually get a game and Win XP Pro. Though the last couple of times I went I had to playtest lame games such as Zoo Tycoon 2 :/
