I'm actually surprised they are so low. I used to work for a bank. This year they put in profits of nearly twice what Microsoft have done. For a company whose software is sold worldwide and is commonly accepted as the most popular OS in a market of how many billion people £2.9 billion is peanuts.

Vorlon is quite right though, it is theft. I always said, someone who is prepared to steal software has done the same as someone who breaks in and steals your TV. Yet one is deemed 'acceptable' teh other we scream at our politicians that they aren't being punished enough.
