a ways back a Microsoft official said (paraphrasing 'cause I
can't
find the reference) that they didn't mind Office, OS and the like
being loaded illegally. Eventually the user will have to purchase the

Drug pusher tactics...
But it's right, the more a person uses the software, the more they paint
themselves into the corner to continue using it. Best to start off with
something that isn't onerous.
