One company I don't mind pirating from

alternateorg on July 5, 2001


Microsoft Word + Entourage SE will be available in English and French versions for an estimated retail price of US$149. The English version is expected to reach stores the week of July 9, and the French version the week of Aug. 6.

Seriously? Only $150 for a fucking word processor and email app? Where do I sign up? Wow… It’s not like I could get an entire UNIX-based operating system for less than that price, or a Linux-based one for fucking free. Holy crap. Microsoft really does know what they’re doing, and this whole ‘open-software’ thing is just a fad. Expensive, shitty software that is incompatible with other software from the same vendor really is the future. I simply love how sometimes, inexplicably, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 Mac Edition and Microsoft Entourage can’t run at the same time, or if they do, then you have to open IE first, otherwise the whole machine crashes. That’s zzzrad.

All of a sudden, that 80mb Hotline download a year ago that provided me with Office 2k1:mac for no price whatsoever looks like a great deal.
