I'm a firm believe that Microsoft is in a perpetual loop, they raise prices to make up for all of the piracy and/or all the work they put into the product to prevent piracy. The high price makes piracy even more attractive and increases their efforts.
Their efforts ? What efforts ?
The day that Microsoft software like Windows and MSOffice won't be easy
to crack will be the day Linux takes over the desktop in a snap.
I mean, who is going to pay those huge amounts of licenses ?
MSOffice is insanely expensive.
And in a lot of countries (e.g. South Asia or Africa), it costs as much
as several months of salary.
Frankly, I doubt MS wants piracy of their products to fail.
