It's a non-issue for me since I do not use pirated software.

...Not only because it is illegal (which should be reason enough), but also because it increases your risk of virsuses and system failure.

To be fair, there's no real evidence to support that claim. I'm aware of the theory that Bill Gates swiped a BASIC compiler when he was interning at DEC, but I have yet to see anyone who can offer up any proof of it. After all, the legend is that they took said BASIC compiler, and weren't even sure if it would run as they were on the plane to the meeting to sell it.
And of course they bought QDOS, which AFAIK, was a legit reverse engineering of CP/M. Telling IBM that they had an OS when they didn't is fraudulent, but it's not selling stolen software.
I just hate how people get this idea that Microsoft was this rags to riches story. Bill Gates' father is quite wealthy, and so it's not like if Microsoft had failed early on that Gates and Company would be panhandling on the street corner. Where exactly do people think they came up with the $50K (in 1980s dollars no less, so probably like a quarter million today) they used to buy QDOS?
In any case, please just tell me you're not going to turn into one of those annoying self-righteous Linux users, who can't turn down a SINGLE opportunity to espouse the greatness of Linux. Doing things like trolling Windows support forums, finding people having problems, and posting a rather useless message along the lines of, "I never have this problem with Linux!" I've nothing against Linux, used it off and on since around 1995. It's a nice system in a lot of respects, and in plenty of others it seems perpetually rough around the edges to put it mildly. I've lost count of how many times people have proclaimed some year the year of Linux on the desktop. Maybe if Apple hadn't come up with Mac OS X, which combines almost all the good aspects of Linux (via the FreeBSD base) with the detail oriented Apple UI, that may have actually happened 5-6 years ago.
In any case, be happy with Linux if that's what works for you. Just remember that it's not for everyone, and unless you have something more to contribute than "I like Linux", you probably shouldn't be in a Windows support forum. There is a nice Linux forum here however.

was smart when they wrote basic for the Altair in that they owned the rights and could license basic to others companies such as Apple. That's why Altair is no longed around and MS is one of the most profitable companies in american business history.
