Take 150 million legal copies and then add the millions of torrented copies adds up to a lot of copies being used around the World
Actually Microsoft has reported that pirated copies of Windows 7 is way down. Because: 1) Microsoft is aggressively blocking keys that are shared (All avenues including MSDN, TechNET, careless Admins, etc.) 2) The use of KMS to validate corporate keys. 3) Microsoft is on top of the cracks for activation and patching the OS.
