This is a part of Bill's answer on one question!!
"For example, let's say a Microsoft Money user lied on his taxes (he may also be using Money illegally). The IRS could come to us and find out everything in his Money data file. We'll also be able to sell the government intriguing pieces of information about people: what music they listen to and what movies they watch; what they talk about 'anonymously' in Messenger chats and what email they send and receive (check your Passport terms and conditions: we own the contents of all your email anyway!).
It's about fairness. What we're really after is simply that
people acquire a legal license for Windows for each computer they own before they move on to Linux or Sun Solaris or BSD or OS/2 or whatever. If you look carefully, you'll see that these other operating systems are really what we call 'second tier' or 'hobbyist' systems.
Krakt Korteks: "Are you saying that we should all have a Windows license for each computer we own, even if we don't use Windows?"
Bill Gates: "At least one legal and authentic Windows license, yes. I'm not saying that you even need to have an actual copy of Windows. There are, after all, people out there who don't think they'll ever want to install Windows, so why take up their SOHO space with yet another drinks coaster? If they decide they want the CD later, then they can visit our website and have one sent to them for a modest fee."
