There are many critiques of Microsoft because they charge money for using their softwares like Microsoft Operating System and Microsoft Office. However, this is the business model they believed in and trusted since the very beginning and this has paid off well for Microsoft. The one big reason for the success of Microsoft over any other system is because of the ease of use. Even a small kid can very easily learn in a few days the basics of Microsoft Operating System.

The measure Microsoft takes to avoid people from illegally using their Operating System is by the means of activation. In most of the cases the person has to activate her/his version of OS online.
