There was a show on PBS just recently were Bill Gates
said that "... even though there are 3 Million computers
sold in China every year, they are not paying for our
software. But, we'd much rather having them steal our
software until we can find a way to get them to pay for
it..."
Well, I think that is what this all about. Office '97
already allows online regeistration, among other things,
that I'm sure if we knew about, would not make us very
happy.
I say, this is one more reason to join the LINUX
revolution, and boycott all WINTEL (Windows/Intel)
based PC's.
Dell and Compaq are already shipping new computers
without any operating system, or you can order yours
with Red Hat Linux.
It's time for the world to wake up to what Bill and
the other BIG companies are up to. They want YOUR money
and will stop and NOTHING to get it.
