You wish. You can only assume your paying customers are thieves until
they prove otherwise for so long before you start sliding down the
slippery slope to failure.

When a new Ubuntu distro is available, the servers get really busy.
Windows 7 BETA was downloaded for free by over 2.5 million people. You
need a new fact checker.

That was back in better economic times and *any* Vista machine (and many
"XP machines") will run Windows 7 so a helluva lot more people will be
buying Win 7 *without* a new computer.

Got any more blind MS fanboy crap you wanna post?

Nobody will be forced to buy Win 7 for any existing machine. It will be
entirely 'user choice' to do so..

Your reading comprehension problem is raising its ugly head again, Mike.
No one will be forced to buy Win 7, true, but not many will be buying a
new computer with Win 7 loaded (the issue at hand) due to the economic
slowdown or do you think companies like Micro$lut, Dell and HP are
laying off thousands for no reason?

Everyone is laying off people. We know you can't get laid off since you are
on welfare.

If you mean parents by "relatives", the only living parent doesn't live

I have never sold free software to *anyone*, liar, and ONE little old
lady paid me to install Ubuntu for her two years ago and she's still
very happy with it.

So, there's a reason you feel you have to lie so why don't you share the
reason with everyone?

No, I can't get laid off because I own the business. I've *never* been
on welfare, you have no proof that I have but that doesn't stop you from
using a lie to cover up the fact that you don't know what you're talking
about and to lamely attempt to make yourself look better than the person
you are lying about.

Oops. I forgot. You have those three companies!!! How many "employees" do
you have? Don't count the digits on your hands or feet as employees. That
doesn't work.

How many employees I have and what my businesses are are none of your
damned business.
