Microsoft has created its own problem, it bought out all its competition, and sky rocketed it prices for all OS and Office packages and complain about afew pirated copies of its software. $200 for an upgrade, MS you should be ashamed of your self for doing their valued customers like that. I look at my CD cases of licensed OS’s and Office Packages and think about the thousands of dollars i’ve spent keeping my computers running through the years. MS has created this dishonesty through their greed.MS will loose a great number of customers this year. Instead of embracing loyal customers with good price breaks they continue to give them the shaft, because we all know that we all are criminals.I am very P.Oed about having to call MS every time I change the hardware in my desktop, to reactivate my software. Looking for good MS alternative!
