Yeah, you might be right about Gates and crew not being very good competitors. After all look at the success that WordStar, WordPerfect, dBaseII, Visicalc, 123, CP/M, the DEC Rainbow, Apollo, Sun SPARC, NeXT, BeOS, QDos, Apple 68xxx, Apple PowerChip, Commodore Amiga, and the Atari 500 are having today.

A hassle verifying the OS with WGA? I clicked install, the WGA window popped up, I clicked OK, the window told me I had a legit copy, and I was good. For whatever reason, it seems that no matter who you are or what your line of work; be it preacher, teacher, deacon, heathen, farmer, nurse, doctor, lawyer, board member, or law officer, there is a goodly percentage that feel it's OK to steal from MS because, after all, they have lots of money. I don't blame MS one little bit for trying to keep all the aforementioned on the straight & narrow.
