A Ferrari is a service now? Or have you given up on your analogy? In either case, accepting something that's freely given isn't stealing.
- PostOnce 13y agoWhat? I didn't imply accepting a gift was stealing, I said that if you got a free gift, didn't like it, and wanted something better, the obvious next step is to buy something better. Yet joshstrange's _immediate_ next step is to steal the better thing. Not to even look for a price quote, but immediately to steal it. Normal thought pattern: "I want something decent. I will see how much it costs and perhaps purchase it." Abnormal thought pattern: "I want something decent. I will steal it." Why does Microsoft owe us anything? If we want to do business on Windows, and support IE, the obvious and legal thing to do is buy a copy of Windows and use it. Not bitch because they're not giving us the best possible stuff for free.
