Do you know, why Microsoft does not take action for using their software by piracy?
Microsoft is one of the word best tech company.If you have a PC or laptop, you must be familiar with microsoft. It's not a big deal to prevent piracy for such a big tech company like microsoft. Though it is not a free software, we are using it free by piracy. But question is why microsoft let this happen.
Only people from second and third world countries are using pirated version microsoft. But those are individual users. In case of a company, all of them are using registered version. That means the people who have money are using registered version and who doesn't have money are using pirated version.
Now think about it, a school kid using microsoft free in his childhood and the same people using it by paying when he get a job after graduation. From his childhood he becomes familiar with microsoft and feels uneasy to shift any other operating system.
Now if microsoft taken care of their pyracy what would have happend.
Linux would be the first choice for second and third world countries. So microsoft would have lost money from corporate sector of those countries.
Apple would have take place instead of microsoft because of it's security. Because apple is more secured than microsoft.
So we can say the the gift from microsoft is on purpose. It is their business strategy.
