'eh seeing "wav" and "microsoft piracy" i know the jhist of your post.. I agree, microsoft is a bunch of hypocrates... this is just one of many things they decided that they'd use, steal, clone, etc... They've done it before, they'll do it again (until caught, again)
I find it funny that they steal software (shareware, freeware, or otherwise), give absolutely 0 credit to the author(s), then continuously hike up the price of their software for development costs that aren't even their own lol...
