I'm going to prison for Windows 98

I installed the same copy of Windows 98 on three different computers
last July. It was just a matter of days before I had some goons from
Microsoft knocking on my door. They confiscated all my computer
equipment and arrested me for copyright violations. I am facing up to
10 years in prison and/or up to a $50,000 fine. My attorney said that
I will likely get 1 to 2 years and a $10,000 fine. I will not get my
computers back either.

I thought Windows 98 was obsolete and it would not matter how many
computers I installed it on. Besides they are all my own computers.
My desktop, my laptop, and my newer desktop that dual booted to Win98
and Vista.

I just wanted to let everyone know that MS is still prosecuting
pirates, even for something as old as Win98. I seriously dread having
ever used any MS software. When I get out of prison, I will purchase
a Macintosh computer so I never have to use any MS software again.

What a genius you are! Of course Microsoft would pay someone
to write, "I seriously dread having ever used any MS software.
When I get out of prison, I will purchase a Macintosh computer
so I never have to use any MS software again."

(If you were joking, I apologise, but the humour escapes me.)

Nice try, Mr. "Perry Wilson".

We all know that Windows 98 does not require any form of on-line
registration or activation in order to be used, which is why MicroShaft
rushed Windows XP into service to replace Win-98 as quickly as possible
because internet file-sharing was just around the corner.

NNTP-Posting-Host: 208.74.247.249

Our Mr. Wilson is either located in Iowa or Minnesota.

I just wanted to let everyone know that MS is still prosecuting
pirates, even for something as old as Win98.

Nice try. Did you move to Minnesota recently? Or perhaps Waukon Iowa?

The IP address used by Mr. Wilson appears to be a static address, used
by many people as some sort of server, perhaps an output server or
proxy. As best I can tell, it's located in north-eastern Minnesota or
south-eastern Iowa.

Yeah right! Do you expect someone to believe this story? It too absurd
to comment upon.

PS: Be sure to stock up on "Soap-on-a-rope"... I hear the Linux gangs in
computer prison are really brutal. They'll have you working on the
command line all day!

How did they find out, did you tell them?

Did you ever read Bill Gates' 'open letter...'?

Microsoft's stance on software piracy isn't a new development.

I thought Windows 98 was obsolete and it would not matter how many
computers I installed it on.

Antique software piracy?

Besides they are all my own computers.
My desktop, my laptop, and my newer desktop that dual booted to Win98
and Vista.

I did a similar thing once (98 upgrade on one, 98 upgrade and Linux Mandrake
on the other), but had enough 98 and wfw3.11 genuine full install CDs lying
around to cover having two upgraded 98s running on two computers at the same
time.

....and Bill, if you're reading this, those systems are long gone now - so,
no need to come-a-knocking.

I just wanted to let everyone know that MS is still prosecuting
pirates, even for something as old as Win98.

I suppose they still *can*.

Especially the Ubuntu gang. The Iowa chapter will make you wish you
never heard the word "compile"..

Indeed it's such an obvious BS story...

after all, everyone knows it's only *nine* years in prison for
installing win98 more than one time
