That's despicable.  In other words, you just hate Microsoft, not their
products - no, the software Microsoft produces is good enough to use,
you just don't want to give them the money that you own them.

If you want your group to have even an ounce of credibility, use only
Linux (or OS/2) and purchase your software from other companies, and
tell your members not to *run* any Microsoft programs at all (Win95,
Windows, DOS, Word, Flight Sim, etc.)  If you advocate software piracy
then you're sinking way lower than Microsoft ever has.

As for me, I'll continue to use whatever software I decide is best for
the task.
