So it where I observe it, the downloaders prefer the ancient Windows and Office versions.

Besides, the premise was that Microsoft likes piracy and does nothing to stop it. I think we have clearly shown that not to be the case. They have been quite successful, not that they have completely stopped it.
"Microsoft likes piracy" may have been your premise, but it wasn't mine. What I said was that MS benefits from piracy.

Haven't completely stopped it is quite the understatement. They haven't done nearly what they could have, and the reason is piracy can't be stopped.
