He knows pirating software has been his best ally. I remember the days when even smaller companies would get all of MS offering on CDs, ready to install.

Even in those days, some companies where already selling enterprise software with licenses controlled by a locally installed license server.

Microsoft instead, was letting everyone install anything. Needed a project software ? A simple database product ? MS was the only company smart enough to make this available and come and collect revenue later.
