[Nettime-bold] Uniting to Cease the Price Gouging of Microsoft |
In recent days, horrible tragedy has befallen America, and in these times of strife and conflict, American's have joined together to fight what we see as the common enemy. We look outside our borders and find hostility, but few look within the borders. The Microsoft Corporation has taken a grip upon America, in accordance with extreme capitalist beliefs, not alien to Microsoft, prices for even poor-quality software has skyrocketed. On October 25, the new Windows XP hits stores shelves, it has been said that this computer giant will spend more than 3 TIMES what it spent to advertise Windows 95 so long ago. Pre-release prices are absurd, $100 for the home edition and $200 for the professional edition. So I call upon you. I beseech that you spread the word to unite people worldwide to fight a global enemy. Urge everyone you know, not to purchase Microsoft products, especially Windows XP. Endless message board posts and curse words won't make a difference, this can. Forward this email, lower prices, and stop the monster. -Sincerely, Josh Weiss http://www.unclemeatpockets.com _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
