I was just about to say the same thing... I remember getting 'copies' of old CoCo games back when games like 'Donald Duck's Playground' were popular.

Ahhh..... god I feel old... I wonder how many people here even know what a CoCo is ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18004742 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 08:58:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18003675 GilbertMark : 3.1?? Some were pirating software YEARS before Windows 1.0 even came out.

Try 3.0 (does *anyone* have any idea how many semi-bootlegged or even *completely bootlegged* 3.0 installs there were?). When it was discovered that there was actually a *reason* to install Windows for Workgroups 3.11, even on non-networked PCs (it's called *increased performance*), that became the *borrowed software du jour*. It got to the point that WfWG actually became the default Windows for the whole last year before Windows 95 launched. (This was the *same* software that was referred to as *Windows for Warehouses* in the original 3.1 iteration, due to non-sales.) Then along came CD burning, and now (of course) DVD burning, which makes such casual piracy *easier*, not harder, than it was in the days of the floppy disk (moribund software, such as MS-DOS and Windows 3.x *still* gets pirated, often as CD images; the same applies, unsurprisingly, to even Windows NT 4.01 Workstation and Server).

They may want to make piracy harder, but unless your software costs a mint, no software company (not even Microsoft, Adobe or (egads!) Apple) wants to completely kill it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18000871 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 15:31:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17999767 CPM : Good, I just downloaded windows 2000 pro.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17999767 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 12:10:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17999559 arck1969 : I thought it was from MS DOS that is the first OS I had that was pirated.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17999559 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 11:32:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17999540 inteller : It all started with pirating windows 3.1.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17999540 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 11:27:09 EDT
