How much money does M$ make from you?

[Merrion]

So far this year I have spent

 

[samsmithnz]

Actually directly off me, very little. I have a work laptop, and as I work from home sometimes on my desktop and I have MSDN at work, so I rarely have to purchase software from MS.

I think the last thing I brought was Money 2004, and it cost me $30US.

Not 1 cent, everything is paid by the company, if I need something from Microsoft, the buy it for me

 

[ThePentiumGuy]

the buy it for you?
hmm... (something got lost in the translation - see profile - )

 

[Robby]

keep out of children LOL

 

[Iceplug]

ha ha ha

Well, of course, I spend less on software, since I have less money... the only thing I have bought last year was my 2003 version of Visual Studio.

ok ok, Pentium, my fingers were too fast and too dumb, they forgot the "Y", they buy it for me, THEY, THEY, the company buys the software I need, is that better? GOOD!!!!!!
NK2000, all the software I use is legal, and I dont spend a penny on it.

 

[NK2000]

yes i also know some people who get provided with this software by their university/academy (like me in some months )

but do you see the smiley? i am person who is quite often joking around at topics like these.. i am not intersted at all if anybody has got its software legally or illegally, because it is the decission of the particular person himself

so dont take that to serious

 

[iebidan]

Im not taking it seriously, just saying that I dont spend a penny in MSs software but is legal
