While I understand MS's position I hope they also understand mine. Instead of getting $50 from me off a retail PC copy, they will get to split the $7 it will cost me to rent it from Blockbuster. They lose me a full customer, and I get a game with inferior control and dumbed down graphics. Its just too bad really.

Gaming keeps a lot of people tied to Windows and away from stuff like the Mac and Linux. I wonder if they realize that? Locking people into their OS is worth more in the long run than anything else. Even piracy helps cement Windows as the de facto standard.


Why don't you write an e-mail to Microsoft then and give some tips on how to run a software business, since you seem to know better?
