COLUMN - Microsoft's anti-piracy attempts misguided, inneffective

... for nearly every software package that Microsoft makes, there’s a
cheap or free alternative, which is generally just as good as
Microsoft’s version.
... student version of Microsoft Office is $130, and the professional
version is over $400.

Open Office is free and is sufficient for a large majority of people,
especially those who primarily need a word processor.

A great alternative to Internet Explorer is Mozilla’s Firefox.

There is even a free alternative to Windows, with Linux.
