Default Copy of Windows 98 Second Edition

Thanks Glen. I agree with your feedback. Normanny, full legal copies of
Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition run about $50-$75 on Ebay which is a
great price for such an awesome operating system and do yourself a favor and
go legal because not only are you breaking the law with bit-torrent you are
risking even destroying your hardware if the appropriate baddie is placed
within bit-torrent. Gary S. Terhune, mvp mentioned how software baddies can
even affect hardware and I think this could be done by sending commands to
the hardware and overworking it but this is just a guess on my part.
Hopefully, you will go the legal option and grr. now Comcast is setting
limits because of the whole bit-torrent crap and yes I read that it will go
into affect October 1, 2008. Thanks for the garbage, all you who get
so-called free junk that costs everyone in time, money and expertise and
those who are trying to be legitimate in the industry without even having
illegal songs on their machines despite all the temptations out there and I
am very thankful to Apple's Itunes for the 99 cents legal songs that you can
get despite the fact that Apple Itunes requires Quicktime and you must so
frequently update it because of the illegal tying of the software and
Microsoft did this in 1998 and was investigated by the United States
Department of Justice so I ask why has the US-DOJ not investigated Apple now
for the same practices or hopefully maybe the EU will take the matter into
their hands when our US gov't is not willing to do the right thing and take
action. Just my 2/3 cents for what little it is worth.

Still blatantly promoting software piracy, I see.
BTW, you bit-torrent abusers are the reason Comcast will be putting caps on monthly
downloads for all their clients, and soon Time-Warner will be restructuring their
Internet service into more expensive tiers based on monthly download capacity.
