Microsoft Owned!!!
I just had to post this article. I felt good after reading it. It's nice to see one of the biggest corporations in the world being bitch-slapped by a poor college student with some ethics and integrity.

Well that was certainly interesting, another story that gives the little man a chance. I'm curious how much money microsoft lost for not paying $60, easily thousands of dollars.

Pretty funny, reminded me of this:

I say good, companies are far too quick to file lawsuits these days knowing people won't do anything about it. They'll just settle to get it over with.

/\ Dont understand people picking at Windows :roll: If there is an alternaty - use it, if not - dont use it, it means also dont use PC.
If it doesnt work, reinstall and stop browsing sites full of worms and spyware or there is something wrong with PC setup you have. My w98 worked like shit at the end cause I was thinking I know alot and messed things in setup and system files - my dumb. Now I have XP and it works like a dream cause I dont mess it up
