I feel Microsoft will commit suicide by trying to hurt their users(including illegal ones). It might lead to the end of Windows.
I wish, but nothing will lead to end of Windows. Even if they charge Windows for $1000 a copy, people will still pay it. The majority of Americans usually just accepts anything Microsoft does.

Microsoft is not dumb though. If they do this they risk angry hackers initiating DOS attacks at them, which will loose them even more money then just the pirated copies.

However in Longhorn they have put in new features that will make it harder for any pirated content to exist.
