Only things I don't purchase are Microsoft products. I get most of it legitly through our MSDN account at the university, but once that's over, it's all about the pirating. As long as I'm saving them money by sending them their "error reports" and basically troubleshooting their system for them, I'm not sure I'll feel guilty about it. However, I do have a beta account with them, so I really do troubleshoot their systems. Come with pretty good benefits too. Free Office 2003 plus $300 for looking at their new small business suite. Damn it, now I'm starting to feel guilty. Conversation over.

Counting only the machine I built, no comment ;)

Adding in the machine I got through my college... I assume everything that came packaged on it is legit.

I'm too lazy to do the math.
