You are going to have more and more problems running free versions of windows as time passes. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of J Dumes Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 8:19 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Copy-Protection and Other FS Programs Has it occured to anyone that the copy protection is part of the reason HJ now FS was able to grow so quickly? I've come across a few users who cracked jaws authorizations in the past. However, I've come across far many more people using win eyes for free. It's this loss of reven Cy, the Ancient Okie...ue to the company that prevents them from expanding more quickly. I'm sure many of us might be running "free" versions of windows. This isn't anywhere near the impact for a company that literally has millions and millions of people running it. When it comes down to a small company where the numbers may only be in the thousands there is a big difference. j -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of jim grimsby Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 11:02 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Copy-Protection and Other FS Programs My point is simply that GW Micro doesn't see the need to spend huge amounts of money on copy-protection schemes, while FS does. If the problem is so rampent with JAWS as FS makes it out to be, one wonders how GW Micro can stay afloat since it must be so much easier to do. Agreed was not negating your point was just trying to answer your questions! -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
