RESPECT, INDIA!
M$ will think twice before they try something like this again.China, Brazil, etc — hope you are taking notes!
“Money power” = “financial strength”, but agree with the judge — it’s immoral to have it and choose to abuse it.Respect also to the Indian justice system for not letting Microsoft bribe or bully them into doing it’s dirty business.
Frankly, would have thought that justice COULD be bought with “money power” in India. I am very impressed to learn that this is not true. Go India. #
Hmm, they’ve got a point. I wouldn’t have thought about that otherwise. That’s pretty cool for India’s system. #
And my favourite comment comes from someone called ‘JTK’:
Why would you pirate Miceosoft stuff anyway? I wouldn’t use it if they paid me.
Amen to that.
