Most Pirated Software Programs on the Internet
You will be surprised to know that the top pirated software on the Internet includes anti-virus programs followed by AutoCAD and Adobe Photoshop.
The CD/DVD burning software from Roxio also seem to more popular among software pirates than Nero. And its strange that Microsoft Office is missing in the following list of most pirated software programs compiled by the Software Industry Association - SIIA Anti-Piracy 2007 Year in Review
Adobe - Adobe Acrobat, Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe DreamWeaver, Adobe Creative Suite
Symantec - Symantec Norton Anti-Virus, Symantec PC Anywhere, Symantec Norton Ghost
McAfee - McAfee VirusScan, McAfee Internet Security Suite
Others - Autodesk AutoCAD, Roxio Easy CD/DVD Creator, Roxio Toast Titanium, Ipswitch WS_FTP, Nero Ultra Edition 2007, Intuit TurboTax, Intuit Quicken Home and Business

No Microsoft Office . This is surprising.
No Microsoft Windows in the list!!! No Office!!! Is this a proper survey?
SIIA doesn’t care about Microsoft … they don’t fund it so Office isn’t included.
WS_FTP is a free program for home use on the version I have.
I guess the alternative to Microsoft office would be open office org(free), hence no need to have a pirated version. Also many could use Microsoft office at work if available…
yup. Open office is the reason people aren’t stealing Microsoft Office. A great program(s) that does everything MSOffice does but it’s free. Why would anyone bother to get the official MS Office?
I’d be interested to know how many of us use it at home (of course everyone uses MS Office at work)
