convert the entire company to Linux (the most important system here, the
manufacturing system, runs on Linux).
I think that would make my life, not worth

create windows easily rather than using Hypercard on Mac. As with
most M$ programs, they decided to replace a perfectly functional VB6
which allowed one to

Hello all,
The problem as I see it are all of the sheep that buy
pre-configured boxes from the likes of Dell and other such providers.
They don't get the OS disc. They only receive restore discs. Most of
these users only know how to turn on the power and operate the keyboard

The guy make exact copies of restore CDs with Dell and Microsoft
labels, so they were counterfeit.

Ok the original topic.
I think what screwed the guy selling the 25 cent computer disks is that
Microsoft, according to the article ,sells $25 replacement restore disks. So
technically he is counterfeiting a current Microsoft product, the physical
restore disk they sell. The whole argument
It is.
He ended up serving 15 months in prison for making rescue disks that were
based on downloadable software that required licence keys that the PCs that
he refurbished already had.
It's a complex.case and the judge didn't understand the actual value of the
