Maybe you should be complaining to the stores since they are the ones not providing the information to the customers - MS clearly makes this information available to any that ask/look for it. Microsoft sells direct? Since when? Those stores are representing Microsoft and Microsoft doesn't do anything to correct them. It's called scamming. Alias |

Tell that to José Barrionuevo and Rafael Vera who are doing time for heading up killing squads to kill ETA members. Just because someone gets busted for a failed mission that had to have a fall guy, it doesn't mean that it's not still happening. That example of yours just proves the point - there are sanctioned kills carried out by governments all over the world, have been, and will continue to be. Can you prove your assertions? Fact is the USA has state sanctioned murder and has murdered many innocent people and they do it in public and are proud of it. Disgusting. Alias |

Why are you not going after WalMart, Sears, and the places that market the manufacturers product incorrectly? You've clearly pointed out a flaw in the sales model of many companies, but not in Microsofts. Actually the deception is MS's by allowing the sale of copies of MS software in Retail Stores, and then trying to rewrite history with a post-sale shrink-wrap license. -- Peace!

So go bitch to the software seller that didn't make this public information available to the consumer - you can't blame MS for it, they DO make it available to the public. Start going after the resellers of the product for misleading the customers. -- remove 999 in order to email me |

Well, people DID NOT buy it in the license department - did they? Based upon that fact, and that even Microsoft offers you software downloads (not license downloads) I think I also am going to begin to state that I OWN the "software". The license that was in the package is ancillary to the fact of my purchase, and I don't really have to even read it. The software is mine, whether I have a license or not! Just to clarify, you own your copy of software, MS owns the copyright to the software. -- Peace!
