MS turns me into a pirate!

Okay, so here I am just minding my own business when all of the sudden "The Man" (Microsoft) tells me that I need MS Office XP service pack 3. Sounds like a good idea, update my software and such. So I go to their update website and it's all going good untill the updates start to install.

The intall program stops and asks me for the disk the the "proret.msi" install file. Great, I can't just update my software but I have to have the disk on hand at all times (keep in mind that the version I HAD was leagal). So I figure I might get lucky and find someone in a nearbye dorm with a disk handy. I found one...a pirated one (thanks Joe!) and slide it into my laptop. What, you're gonna tell me that this is the wrong MSI file??? Now, I know that the disk I have includes MS FrontPage but honestly, MS could make them compatable if they wanted to make my life not difficult.

So what now is the solution since my MS Office programs no longer work? Only one...install the pirated version so I can use that MSI file! So thanks to MS (and Joe) it is becoming more and more necessary to pirate, steal from, and lie to "The Man" more and more! Therefore, I salute you Microsoft! If it weren't for your difficult and socialist ways, I would still be running legal software!
