Microsofts Chief Executive Steve Ballmer says that piracy will "ease" with the introduction of its Windows Vista operating system, and Office 2007 office suite. Ballmer also went on to say that 20 percent of its software around the world is pirated and they expect that number to drop with its new authentication system in Vista and Office 2007.
"We're trying to make it easier for people who somehow have
received improperly licensed versions to get legal, and we also
put more roadblocks in," said Ballmer, declining to specify how
much it can reduce the piracy rate. "It will help," he said.
