Microsoft is expanding its fight against software piracy with a new educational effort that includes comics.

The online campaign, set to start on Monday, is meant to tell people the benefits of using properly licensed software. It covers such aspects as awareness of intellectual property rights, risks of using pirated products, proper licensing practices and legalization of fraudulent products.

The begining of the end.

The harder MS tries to control access to it's software, and make even more money, the more people will try not to use it. The demand for non-MS products is rising. Europe is asking for MS to make Word create a standard document file format, MS is refusing. Now comes along Openoffice, Free GNU software. We use it at our work, it is reasonable product.

If MS had half a brain they would start provide a free operating system, clinching thier already tight hold on the PC market. But then what would there be to license?

I can hardly wait to see the fall of MS.
