Everything in my computer doesn't have licence. Their to damn expensive only the windows licence is what i make in a month. How can you espect to sell at that price? In my country every people has no licence only some firms. I usualy download them its more cheap.

I do go for original software although the cost is always high. I prefer original because of their quality at the time of installation. They give you all details without any distortion.

I always use original software. It doesnt pay using pirated ones since when you have to make an upgrade you cant. Besides, it isnt honest using a pirated one

The original software I am using is Pinnacle PCTV Media Center, iPod software and my Mother Board Software, the total no. is 3, and I am using about 350 Pirated Software. The no. of pirated software is high because all these software are Very Expensive to buy.

I think being a software professional I was facing big problem trying to buy all the software that I need. It was a problem more so because it costs a lot to buy all these software and then at the end of the season you come to know that a new version has just arrived, just making all your investment go waste. But since an year now, I have shifted to most of the GNU based open source software. There were slight problems initially installing these software. I had to go around a lot of discussion forums but not it seems it was a wise decision. I can directly download any new version of the software and start working without ever worrying about the originality of the software. I have used quite a lot of them now - PHP, MySQL, Mediawiki, Mapserver, Apache, OS Flash, etc. I love open source for the freedom it has given me!!

I am now using ie, firefox, acoo browsers to surf the net. They are absolutely original softwares. I installed a linux system on the machine. This system is not expensive. I can afford it. So this is also an original version. I have not really gathered the statistic, but I reckon about 20 percent of my softwares intalled in the system are of oringal version.
