M$ have been shown in court to have breeched copyright. There was a french 
case (which I briefly read about last night) and J++/Java case where they 
breeched copyright on Sun's Java source code. M$ are the biggest (to use 
their terminology) pirates I know of.

I was forced by them for a copy of Windows ME which I don't even use (because 
I bought a laptop I had no choice). I see this is a far more severe form of 
thieft than their wining about unauthorised copying (the GNU term for what 
they're bitching about - piracy is attacking ships).

Perhaps I should tell them I have all this pirated M$ software and see what 
happens.
