There are many,many operating systems out there today that do not tie me completely to themselves the way Microsoft does. I can only say this: IF MICROSOFT IS SO INTENT ON CONTINUING TO CATER TO THESE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES AND PROVIDE THEM THE SAME PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE BEEN PAYING “FULL PRICE”, THEN (BY GOD, THEY NOW OWE ME
MONEY). I, AS WELL AS MANY LAW ABIDING CITIZENS OF THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN, ARE OUTRAGED AT THE REVELATION OF THIS INFORMATION REGARDING MICROSOFT’S EFFORTS, WORLD-WIDE, TO BEAT OTHER DISTRIBUTORS
PRODUCT BY GIVING THEM THEIR PRODUCT AT A MUCH REDUCED PRICE WITHOUT ALLOWING ME AND ALL OTHER “FULL PRICE CUSTOMERS” TO RECEIVE THE SAME DEAL. MICROSOFT IS TREADING ON SOME VERY THIN AND DANGEROUS GROUNDS NOW AND COULD FIND THEMSELVES IN COURT HERE IN AMERICA FOR THESE PROCEDURES. IF I HAVE MY WAY, THE AMERICAN PRICE WILL BE THE “WORLD” PRICE. OTHERWISE, GET YOURSELF OUT OF HERE. WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU AND YOUR SHENAGAN’S AROUND THE WORLD.

DON’T YOU ALL REMEMBER THAT OLD SAYING “YOU DANCE WITH AND GO HOME WITH THE ONE YOU BRUNG”. WELL, BOYS, IT’S TIME TO TAKE CARE OF THE FOLKS RIGHT HERE IS AMERICA THAT GOT YOU TO WHERE YOU THINK YOU ARE TODAY? EITHER YOU GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, AND TREAT US ALL THE SAME, OR YOU MIGHT FIND THAT WE “THE SCREWED OVER PEOPLE” WILL FIND ANOTHER DANCE PARTNER. JUST REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE SOME REALLY SMART FOLKS OUT THERE, WORLD WIDE, THAT DON’T WORK FOR YOU, THAT THEY ARE JUST WAITING TO POUNCE!! IF YOU ALLOW THE WEDGE TO GET IN, YOU JUST MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO STOP IT. JACK

I’m upset really. I’ve been supporting MS since the early DOS 4 days. Just spent several hundreds of $$ on office, MS Project & Visio. I’m definitely not upgrading to Office 2010, next step would be a freebie (Open Office).

And frankly, no one would have bought it otherwise. People in Russia rarely buy genuine software.
