It's to be expected. I mean Microsoft products are among the most pirated, so it is cutting into their profits.

I don't think that'll help 'em to stop piracy at all. Those hackers are way too smarter than Microsoft.

The hackers may be much smarter, but the general population will tend to want a genuine copy more than the pirated one because of the "advantages".

Neither do I right now, but I want to see how the new interface for Office 2007 looks. Functionality or not, many Microsoft products look good. ;) .

I'm using Office 2007 beta. It's way better than previouse Office products. :)
