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.

Not even a single software I use is original. he he
But I would like to say that it make no difference to me whether its original or pirated.Isn't it? Because if you are getting the same thing for less price then whats the deal to waste that much money....
