Microsoft is a landlubber!
Bill Gates is celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day by going on the attack against pirates. Software pirates, in this case, i.e., those who like to make counterfeit copies of Microsoft’s bloated and popular products and illegally sell them to whoever’s buying. MS filed 20 lawsuits against various companies all over the country, accusing these pirates of counterfeiting and/or loading unlicensed copies of MS software onto hard drives and then selling those to unwitting consumers. No word yet if Microsoft is seeking damages in the amount of whatever is in Davy Jones’ locker.
