And then, of course there is the regional marketing practices that makes
it so much more aggravating. Here in Canada, an off the shelf full
install of XP goes for almost 400 bucks. In Asian countries, they can
purchase the same software for the equivalent of 10 bucks. If MS would
only understand that they could end the cloak and dagger activation crap
if they sold the product for a more reasonable price. If XP sold for
29.95, they would have a LOT more LEGAL users than they do now. And I
think it unfair for those of us in more affluent countries to have to
subsidize the dumping of MS products at bargain rates in less affluent
areas. Just MHO. :-Deano
