Pirated Office
CEO Steve Ballmer told Wall Street analysts in late February that pirated versions of Office were taking far more of a bite out of Office than Google Apps, Open Office or any of the other Office competitors on the market.

Wow! The unlicensed share of Office is huge! Maybe MS should look at family pack licensing (like what Apple does), and extend it to very small businesses.
