An anonymous reader writes "ArsTechnica is running a story regarding
comments by Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes, who had a pithy
comment on the subject of software piracy. His view is that, should
software piracy occur, Microsoft's desire is that the pirated software
should be theirs. Potentially, in the future, they could then convert the
illegal users from the 'dark side' into legit users who obtain licenses.
'We understand that in the long run the fundamental asset is the installed
base of people who are using our products. What you hope to do over time is
convert them to licensing the software.' Obviously Microsoft prefers the
market to use their software even if it's pirated, rather than the
alternative: the use of free software."

El día que Pablo Lleó Gárcia deje de hacer el imbécil en los foros técnicos
de MS y de falsificar a la gente, yo dejaré de cantaros las 40 aquí. Hasta
el momento soy comedido: solo pongo los mismos mensajes, copiados, que Pablo
ha puesto allí y segun los va poniendo. Por tanto, ya sabeis quien es el
culpable.
