try telling that to BSA. they are the ones who raid companies and shopkeepers for software piracy. the day they start targeting individuals would be the day this attitude would change.

right , country is 1st priority and should always be so be a good citizen and pay ur taxes in full without manipulating things and figures and then the next step is buying original stuff and not pirated one, but i m sure wen the time to pay taxes comes and ppl's chartered accountant tells them that how to save it by manipulation most of us will fall for it bcos of our greed and then we will come on some forum and say pay ms in full dont pirate, or dont do this or dont do that, 1st look into urself and ask havnt u really done anything illegal in very recent time??? answer will come to u only u may tell others that "YEAH" i am clean but its only u who knws the "truth".
tax saving is done by manipulations of your expenses. but if you put in wrong figures, it does not become 'savings' it becomes cheating. tax saving means when you make investments that are non-taxable and stuff like that. that is not a crime. that is something approved by the government. 
Saving is indeed your right.
Try Proving your argument in a court of law, Piracy does translate into stealing, you cannot use the sharing card when pirating Microsoft operating systems as you deliberately bypass registration.
You are not forced to love Microsoft products, there are plenty of free and paid alternatives(Linux, Mac OS X)
jdjain, your arrangements do not hold any value.
No one is forcing you to pirate Microsoft products, Just get Ubuntu, It does almost everything properly.
Lastly, any thief thinks 100 times before stealing, you are doing the same.
By not buying legitimate software, you are not only compromising your own security but are also responsible for loss of Tax Revenue, encouraging unlawful activities(by buying and promoting illegal software) and you may also be indirectly funding anti-government groups.
If you choose to use illegitimate software, I hope you will keep that to yourdelf for your own good.
I would also like to urge you not to promote such activities
MS has priced their O/S very expensive ... no one will want to spend 5000 Rs for buying windows 7 ultimate .. if the same product is available for say even 1000 Rs many people will buy it ..
many people buy original anti virus cause they cost anywhere between 500 - 1500 Rs .

actually nobody buys ANTI-VIRUS either and the fact that ANTI-VIRUSES are only for 1 year makes people pirate it more
i think MS priced their version right as they provided support for a long time and the continued updates which cost them bandwidth fees and everything even though its minor

not everyone has a need to buy the 'ultimate' edition. and not everyone HAS to buy Windows. most people can easily live with a free alternative Ubuntu that works great. as for antiviruses. most people do not know that they can use microsoft security essentials, AVG or Panda Cloud Antivirus for free. they do not buy antiviruses out of choice. they are forced to by the folks that provide them technical support. one of my uncles was using quickheal (!) antivirus for the last 2 years paying 1000+ as yearly charges. i removed the crap from his machine despite a few weeks remaining in subscription. installed cloud antivirus on his machine. works fine. no big deal. most folks also do not need MS Office for their home usage. they can easily live with GOOO (openoffice). it is ignorance that causes most piracy. folks who know about free/legal alternatives and still pirating are well immoral.
