There is a pirate offering both Microsoft and Adobe CD's on the Web. I understand they work just fine, cost is $50-$80 USD, comes from St. Petersberg Russia.>
If ever you're in South-east Asia, you can pick up practically anything for about $5. From what I've heard, most are OK and some just have little bugs, such as poor uninstallation. There is a massive crack-down currently underway, but whenever a shop or stall is closed down it just reopens somewhere else or someone else fills the gap.
If you do try them, expect no support from the developers and the possibility (although extremely remote) of a hefty fine if caught using it. Plus this is actually theft - whether you think that stealing from Microsoft is fair enough considering their pretty nasty business practices is your call!
