Wow, Bill's going to have to skip desert at his favorite restaurant tonight.

I guess not only desert, but allso the entire dinner, if it get widely known. Some guys have ordered 300+ CDs just for the heck of it. LOL. :D :D
I wonder if it works everywhere. I don't dare to try it out here in The Netherlands. They have some good lawyers here too. :eek:

Some waiter is going to be upset at having his tip reduced.

I guess no Xmas pressie for the Miss and Paul Allen will have to earn even more money with flights into space:

That's incredible! You'd think they'd have done a little work to make their form a little more secure.

Have you guys already ordered some CDs? If so, how many? :-)

I'd think they don't care if a few random pranksters waste a tiny amount of money.

Can someone explain to me why they think it's so "cool" to defraud a company?

Maybe someone could explain why they feel safe in posting an admission to having committed a crime in a public forum?

it tells me the post has been deleted! i'm well curious now...

Makes me also curious. What a shame!

Tell us what it said - please!

Some fools found a flaw on MS's web site that allowed them to order multiple copies of a free upgrade CD. They truely thought it funny to force unnecessary costs on a free service from a company that no doubt will reflect the costs on future product prices.

That summarizes it very well, Las_Vegas. :cool:

I'm up for making microsoft pay. Who's with me?

Make them pay for what?

For providing free update CD's, I guess. How dare they.

Once upon a time I fantasized about living in a world where people had ethics. Ol' dopey me. :o

For ripping of the Mac OS and making severe amounts of money from it. From Constantly copying Apple in every way it sees to try and move on and out of this pit of mass unrecognition for the great it has done to the computing world.

Microsoft are the perfect example of a cruel twist of justice and plagiarism dipped with a hint of evil, fathered by capitalism that so frequently makes an appearance in this world.

Apart from religion and money (which only breeds evil (which only breeds violence)), Microsoft is one of my foremost hates. Not just for its plopper of an operating system.

I hate what they stand for, I hate what they are, I hate the way they are what they are and I hate how it is us who made them and put them there.

I hate Microsofts ulterior motive... World domination (well, near enough)
And they have their eyes set on a way to achieve this... The Internet. And I for one, will stand up against this. (Hotmail, IE, MSN etc)

Microsoft are seeking dictatorship and killing competition. They are not pushing the boundaries of technology and science for the benefit of technology itself but rather for the money it brings. Microsoft's philosophy is one of a money grabbing bastard, and should they succeed technological dictatorship. They could bring the world to a standstill.

That's what you call capitalism! :o :(

Microsoft is evil. Down with the capitalist pigs! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yeah, it's so cool to hate Microsoft. How dare I forget.

Enough. Thread closed.

Yep. You took the click right out of my mouse. ;)
