Actually that seems to have been part of the strategy all along:
As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal
ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow
figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.

It's more than a psychological addiction, the MS file formats are what
it's been using to leverage new sales. So both OOo and OpenDocument have
a lot to offer people in that contet.

Excellent Daniel - thanks for this. As I said recently in my blog:

than Microsoft turns a blind eye to software piracy throughout the third
world. This only encourages people to become addicted to software they can
never afford to buy, and discourages them from using open-source software
which is completely and permanently affordable."
