Actually even I have been thinking along the same lines for quite some 
time...
Microsoft is of the opinion "If you want to pirate, do go ahead, but 
the pirated software should be MS"...

They are letting piracy go on in the non-commercial market and are 
only spending lakhs on anti piracy efforts in the commercial/corporate 
world.

Warm Regards.
