In countries where power supplies are intermittent, or irregular, it

what would you do ? Risk downloading it, or go and obtain a pirated copy
of some other more freely available software suite ?
Would you download a copy of that proprietary suite instead ? or would
you get it on CD ? Ultimately, I'd love to see some Ubuntu style ship-it

foundation and funding in place that seems like an obvious use of funds.
