I think you put way too much faith in Microsoft. They can't stop pirates from hacking their operating systems, Office suites and others. If they had the tech to eliminate piracy I think they would have already done that with their existing products.
Other factor is that I really do not think piracy is as big of an issue as some make it out to be. It's a complex problem and not as simple as "if you stop pirates from getting illegal copies they are going to buy their games". And so actual financial gains from eliminating piracy might not be all that great.
Yeah, storing activation details locally is ripe for hacking and abuse
Ok, I give up.
