Manually doing everything yourself and learning is better than Slayer's

isnt this guy severely breaking the law by not only SELLING software made with an illegal copy of the XDK, but by not crediting the authors of the said software?

surely M$ wouldnt even blink before blowing this guy out of the water!

If no one is buying it, it's a waste of M$'s time to go after him.

Manually doing everything yourself and learning is better than Slayer's   And not using it when its there is like carrying bricks individually down to the bottom of your garden when theres a wheel barrow on the patio. I cheer anyone like Slayer who makes it easier for "new blood" to get involved. That man aint no snob.

Ever heard the phrase, "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, and he eats for life."

EDIT:  Just in case someone HASN'T heard that phrase, I'll clarify.  Of course it takes less time and is easier on the user to just burn a disc and pop it in the drive, but then the very next week we have to listen to the very same users (most of them anyway) bitch about how they can't flash their BIOS or how they can't add something to their dash.  That's one reason why I don't like people ABUSING the ease of use of the installer.  They use it as a shortcut rather than a consolidation.

Also, hey, why don't I just cheat on my college exams and get a degree?  It's easier for me, and it would bring "new blood" into the industry.  But that blood would be stupid, stupid, stupid blood that would really only dillute the industry.  An apt analogy, I think.

One more thing - there are MANY auto-installers out there, not just Slayer's (though indeed it is the most well-known), so it's quite possibly that Wayne isn't just slapping his name on there.  Obviously it's still wrong to slap his own name on it without giving due credit, and it's even more wrong to sell it...I'm just saying.

Whoa...the edit is a lot longer than the original post...

No, but I've heard the phrase "Give a man a fire, and he's warm for a night; set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life".
