Let's be honest here. The only reason the PC, Windows and Office have become so dominant is because so many people had access to pirate copies. Microsoft survives because companies pay for licenses, but it has become popular at home because people used it at work and copied the software for their own use. Do you know anyone who has paid £300 for Office Pro? How many people have paid to upgrade Windows?
