What will you do?

ha ha... are you into business or something... coz if u r not - you should... well - I guess - if we had to BUY software - since srilankans will not pay (or cant pay) for something where an alternative will be there free - people will move open source - but since all branded laptops n stuff come with preinstalled windows - windows will be there too.. yeah.. so it'll be like WinuX..

Yes I am into business
I remember there was something called Lindows for sale a couple of years back.

i'm moving to a open source OS... pirating is too risky for net users...

That's the way to go man... but the thing is - I have original windows - yet how can I buy MS Office + Matlab n visual studio??? I use freeware as much as possible : paint.net for photoshop - avira antivir antivirus for kaspersky +++...

Everything in my PC r Pirated copies downloaded from Torrents..

From Office Suite 2007 to Adobe CS3 Master Collection....has a XP version that even does automatic updates without any probs...

and yeah..if u r too lazy to download..then Pettah has almost anything...

Even this Pirated thingy in Uni will be over in a couple of months... so it'll be business as usual on maybe around next month or so..

I do not even think about moving to fully open source or neither purchasing so called original copies. I would find what I need one way or another.
