[aclug-L] Re: XP vs linux

[Ironrose <amccadden@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes--it looks like linux, but as you have noticed there are some licensing 
issues.  The guys at
worked have found crack codes so they can pirate the software.  They consider 
it a challenge to
crack it.  They love it, but I will stick to my favorite OS, which is linux.  
There are a lot of
people asking about the licensing and wanting to find out about other options.  
They don't like it
very well when I talk about linux....lost revenues and all that crap.  I hope 
that I don't end up
losing my job over this.  ~Ironrose
