I know that, and you know that, but there are a heck of a lot of folks who only know the Photoshop name. Quite like "Is that a Kindle you're using?" "No, it is an e-reader but it's made by Sony." "Oh! I didn't know there were others."

True, and Microsoft doesn't penalize
private individuals for using unauthorized copies of its software, only businesses and organizations using multiple copies of it. I had the occasion to meet and chat with a Microsoft Lawyer based in Bangkok who's only job it was was to bring to court companies 'stealing' Microsoft usage. Interestingly enough, his own laptop had many different pieces of pirated software.
