When I look back on the history of Microsoft products I can clearly see the market dominance of Windows and Office are due to how easily their early versions were pirated. They did not became the defacto standard because they were better. They achieved dominance because so many kids grew up using pirated copies. The funny part is how they started DRM and continue to tighten their DRM now that they have dominance. I don't know if that will prove to be good or bad for them but no-DRM is how they got where they are today.
