I wonder why Microsoft is the most targetted software, the price of their products is too high, they are a predatory monopoly, their business practices are/have been questionable and they have somewhat overzealous licence conditions.

It is arguable that Microsoft is the underlying cause of such extensive counterfeiting and piracy, now prevalent for most software, and also now music and video, brought about in response to their own actions and greed.
