We Linux users have probably gotten a collective total of at least 32 trillion pieces of spam email trying to sell us Windows warez. But until now, we were always frozen
out of these bargains. Unless we ran CrossOver Office, what did we need with a pirated
copy of Photoshop or Microsoft Office? (Not only that, most of us use free, open
source alternatives anyway.) But now we have arrived. There is finally enough
commercial software for Linux that the pirates and warez spammers want
our business, too.What follows is the complete text of a spam I recently spotted while checking
the “junk” file from my personal email address. I would not advise buying
anything from these people, of course, any more than I’d advise buying any of
the “priced to low to be legitimate” Windows products they sell.
