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. Perry |

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.) -- Angus Rodgers |

How did they find out, did you tell them? 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. Did you ever read Bill Gates' 'open letter...'? http://www.blinkenlights.com/classiccmp/gateswhine.html 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*. [...] |
