Current bid: US $23,692.30
Time left: 6 days 19 hours
The bids usually double within the last 12 hours... This is insane.
Or rather, really smart.
Yeah I visited his forums once, apparently he might be donating it to a charity (the school he's supporting?). If he isn't it's just some way of using the publicity around him to gain money, which although would be smart, is wrong in some ways.

As long as people are paying for their software, they'll let the updates be free. As soon as they start charging for updates you'll have programmers with a concience patching it themselves for free (or being paid by some company, who knows). That would also result in a huge loss of revenue, would you rather use XP for $200 intial and $25/month or linux for free?
Yeah, now since Linux is starting to get major financial/legal support from big companies, and companies in general. (IBM, Novell, Astalavista just to name a few.) Microsoft wouldn't dare do that since more people would switch to Linux at a faster rate than they would if updates were free.

geez. I wish I had that kind of money.
I'm probably not the only one who atleast has a hunch that the high bidder doesn't have much intention to pay.
Well, a software company who can grab a domain with a well-known name like that could probably make back that much money, simply from people who read the cnn story and go there to see what they have.

I've been thinking the same thing.
Microsoft trying to keep their stupidity secret? :P

I think that, but then again I think that about almost all ebay transactions over 100 dollars :p
I'd laugh if Microsoft made the highest bid and grabbed it :)
yes that would be funny.. (and what was this court case about exactly?? i didnt pay attention to it when i saw it on tv doh'!)
