Look - they've got anti-piracy sorted. Their software phones home. It updates the phone-home and key-checking code regularly. You can't get security updates and new software (e.g. IE,.NET) without it. Even if the locks get broken, they'll just update.
So here's what they should do... give away CDs. Vista CD's should be distributed like AOL's once were. They should be everywhere, in every mag, in every box of Captain Crunch cereal. Let people download it from MS's website.
Let it run for a month for free before it starts to ask you to buy. You've got them hooked by this stage.
Vista will be like heroin - once you get a taste its very addictive. Make it trivial to buy - just take a credit card number right from the login screen.
Do the same with Office. All good pushers know they've got to give free samples to lock in their 'customers' for life. And it works.
