I think Bill Gates is already a rich guy

I think that you're point should be right if we were talking about someone else. Or some other company, but Microsoft.

Microsoft and Bill Gates do not need the whole world buying their products.

They're already the most rich company in the world!

Even with the whole hacking and cracking industry, they sell A LOT of product every year.

Last year July, Microsoft announced that they've sold over 180 million licenses of Windows Vista since it's launch.

That's like 20 million licenses per month! Do you think that's a small number?

And that happens inspite of the UNREASONABLE price of a license.

Here in Brazil, a license of Vista Home Basic, the cheapest Vista, is yet higher than our minimum wage.

Do you think that's a fair price?

I do know that we live in a capitalist world, but I believe that things like "piracy" brings a tiny little light of socialism into that world. And for me, that's great!

P.S.: I apologize for my poor English.
