language selection in xp

Part of the reason Microsoft products are "expensive" is that Microsoft must recoup its losses to thieves like you. Bruce Chambers LOL...you probably also think gas prices will drop if oil prices go down. Microsoft sets their prices based on what the market will bear. As piracy becomes more difficult, demand for the license goes up, which will increase both price and revenue. As a stockholder, this makes me happy. You wholly misunderstand the economics involved. The only thing that would lower the cost of Microsoft's desktop products is the existence of viable alternatives.

Then search for Bruce. Link is broken. However, even if Bruce happens to be aware of the economic realities, he is performing a disservice to the community by implying piracy inflates software price levels. Misinforming the public rarely solves anything.
