Actually, having worked in the telecommunications industry for over 25
years, I do know about PBX and VoIP systems. I know about all types of
digital telecommunications switching systems, transmission systems,
networking and IP systems as well. I also know about the value of
data-mining those call records because I have done so in my jobs. If
reading contracts is a waste of time to you, that is just more evidence that
you, and your company, are not someone that a knowledgeable person would do
business with.
It's too bad that you call keeping your word and contracts being a
"by-the-book ass-clown". I call not keeping your word and honoring your
contracts dishonest. And all it takes is a whopping 1 modified file to
totally expose you and your customers to harm. There are a lot of people
who don't read license agreements or couldn't understand them if they did.
They often violate those agreements out of ignorance. Your violation of
your license agreement was not out of ignorance. It was out of dishonesty.
If you wanted Vista for evaluation purposes in order to test and evaluate
its compatibility and usefulness in your business, Microsoft has a TechNet
subscription that would have given you just that - without cheating. Ask
your IT staff. They already know about it. The fact that you don't know
about it makes me suspect that you aren't the one evaluating or determining
its usefulness for your customers. Or if you are, it's another stupid
mistake. You don't have the proper background and experience for it. Of
course your use of a stolen copy of Vista has nothing to do with your
customers. Here are your own words:
As for paying today, that wasn't really the issue anyway. The problem is,
at least as far as you knew, you couldn't buy it today. So you stole it.
Just because you were willing to pay means nothing. If I go to an auction
house and see an item I want and I am willing to pay any price but they
refuse to sell it to me before the auction next month, then by your
standards I'm now justified in breaking in tonight and taking the item. And
it's not stealing because I was willing to pay any price for it. What a
stupid argument you make.
Getting things "done at any cost" (the correct phrase where you said "at all
cost") means that you value profit and business above morality and honesty.
I can assure you that your customers expect you to be honest first and
profitable second. If you can't, and if they knew that you couldn't, be
honest first, they'd take their business elsewhere lest their business data
begin to look like dollar signs in your eyes.
Now you've shown yourself to be over-reactive and immature, along with your
lack of honesty and integrity in business.
Where's that customer reference list?
