How about this?Go to any FutureShop,BestBuy,etc etc And look at the computers on display.See the little sticker on the side of the case.Or better yet,if u work for a business company that have a tone of crappy dells or whatever crap box they bought use those keys.

Well won't MS have a lot of bills to pay for destroying peoples computers , LOL either WP2S has been missinformed or MS has gone nuts ,by admitting publicaly they are willing to destroy your HD. That is intent to comit property damage and no high payed layer could save them from that. And what about the legit copies that the keys have been blacklisted for, did they think of that. I hope they do make good on this , then Bill might finally come crashing down to earth and Linux will rule :P

Lol, near free my azz. You must not have had to pay your own tuition & housing. For an academic copy of office 2003 standard alone is $150. Yes its cheaper compared to the retail package, but if I am already having issues paying $15 for 3/4s of a tank of gas, what makes you think I can easily shell out $150 for a "near free" copy of Microsoft Office?

Please Bill, I beg you, Pleaseeee dont kill my mouse...ooooh...poor thing... :P

No. He is right. At least in sweden 99% of everyone that have made their career becouse of their skill with software have done so on pirated copies. I have never in my life heard of anyone that owns more than 5% of whatever he uses on his computer, and 0% is even more common.
