If everyone thought it was ok to steal from Microsoft? Really, the only two 
effects I can think of are: a) Microsoft loses some of its power in the 
social 
and political arena, something no one could be upset about (a totalitarian 
state or a totalitarian corporation are the same thing, especially in the 
U.S.)
and b) Bill Gates has to stop eating lobster on Thursdays.

Well, really you make me sick. You mindlessly accept whatever the 
newspaper/corporation press release/politician says and use only that to base 
your moral ground on. To suggest that Microsoft does nothing morally corrupt 
is
an expression of flat-out naivete. And then to go and be their nameless, 
faceless ideological warrior here on FidoNet just shows the extent of their 
success.
