Hands up how many of you actually own a legal version of Microsoft Office?

ME! Well, OK, that's not quite true. I use it through my employer's license with Microsoft (that is, I don't own it, my employer does).

Dingo, don't you find that just a little hypocritical? What do you call using software with someone else's license? I wonder what other software your using illegally. Get off the soap box.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Um, perhaps you're a little confused. My employer has a license that covers MY (and every other employee's) use of the software. Ever heard of a site license? Well, this is kind of like that, but many of us work off-site and it even covers us. Amazing what people think of, isn't it?
I'm not using any illegal software.
Tell me... If I made the statement that stealing someone's car is theft, and that theft is wrong, would you tell me to get off my soap box? Of course not... You'd most likely agree with me. But for some reason because I'm willing to stand up and call another type of theft "theft", and say that it's wrong, I'm on some imaginary soap box? Gimme a break.
And tell me, as some of you seem to think that if you can smear my integrity you can let yourselves off the hook... If I stole are car, and then made the statement that stealing cars is theft and theft is wrong, would that make the statement any less true? Of course not.
But hey, thanks for reviving the world's longest running thread so we can all revisit the facts one more time ;-)
