I believe this is real.  But I also think the library is free to download.  Maybe the price wrapped around. *shrugs*

I believe it -- though thats a bit much. :P though not for bug companies! xD

It seems as If it lets you do pretty much anything you want with .DLL files, and I guess that can be nifty in many circumstances... :P

This is real - for more info, see here:
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/detours/

Typically used by the industry, but also used by some software crackers (and script kiddies, to tack that on).
You can get a lower version copy for free here:
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/d36340fb-4d3c-4ddd-bf5b-1db25d03713d/default.aspx

I have a feeling that they did the extreme pricing not just for getting money, but to keep this out of the software cracker's hands... Of course, some random guy in the industry will probably torrent it or something...  ::)

That's an insane price!
Imagine if it was Apple software, though...

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

The cost couldn't go much higher though it is already >9000.

What is the use of this software?

True, the price might not go much higher, but the software could be much more limited.

Note, to clear any confusion, my TI comment was meant to say that this M$ software price made TI calculators look cheap.
