Question on buying software
-
Well, games from companies I support. As for commercial software, Adobe Photoshop. This are software with excellent features and it's worth every cent. But no, I would never pay $699 for Microsoft Office. There are 3rd party opensource freeware, for example, OpenOffice which provides the same features, maybe even better.Originally posted by Xcert:I wasnt really sufficiently sure of ur meaning in the earlier reply so thanks for clearing it up.
What are the softwares that U found worth ur dough/support? -
common sense. it doesn't even take a genius to have it.Originally posted by Xcert:perhaps U can share with us how U download from warez without getting virus infections?
i haven't used any firewall or antivirus or antispyware software since 2002, and i have NEVER encountered any of such threats. it's up you guys to believe that, but i swear it's true. and no, don't even get started on "you wouldn't even know if you got infected" crap, i know my computer inside out - more than you can possibly imagine - and i will know if something has gone wrong.
common sense is probably the most underrated virtue where piracy is concerned. -
which software is the most tempting for U at the moment?Originally posted by dranoel maxwell:Well it really depends if the software is kinda tempting then maybe i will copy it
I am asking because some people do copy from their companies everything.. from SDKs to MS-DOS 6.2...

my usage is similar to urs...Playing SWAT4 original game now...Also using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 original. I do use MS office because I used OpenOffice before...it wasnt user-friendly to me...so I switched back...maybe I not used to it or what...Originally posted by SingaporeanHeartLander:Well, games from companies I support.

Yeah probably. OpenSource isn't for everybody.

agrees with Fucking Bitch, if u're careful enough with wares, there's no way u'll kenna any virus. for your info, there seems to have a misconception that wares contain virus, adwares or spywares. it's usually people who like to click on yes on the popups appear at the sites kenna these sh!ts. btw, i dl mainly freewares and a few cracks for minor programs.
