RE: Rockin' on without Microsoft

Interesting article indeed. The thing that hit me most was:

>... [BSA] conducted a raid and subsequent audit ... that turned up 
>a few dozen unlicensed copies of programs.

And

>"We won't do business with someone who treats us poorly." 

Now, when you are using unlicensed copies of software who is treating who
unfairly?
