if you go to a store l ooking for jar of delicious pickles and realize
that the pickles you are going to buy have way too much salt in them
[you dont like salty food, you see], would you buy them, not buy them,
or would you steal them? just because the product doesnt meet YOUR
standards doesnt mean that the company/person's product is ripe for the
plucking. if that were true, there would be no stores; people would
just  run around claiming they didnt like anything, getting everything
for free. if you dont like microsoft's products, dont buy them! maybe
with windows 95, you might feel forced to purchase it ... but for the
typical user, the bugs arent really too bad ... at least as far as ive
seen; i realize that there will be exceptions, of course. good luck and
dont get caught shoplifting
