Six months ago, Microsoft Australia trialled an unique approach to combat piracy amongst students called “It’s Not Cheating“. The program has since been hailed a success with today’s announcement of similar programs, “The Ultimate Steal“, in Canada, United Kingdom, United States, France, Italy and Spain.

In fact, the original program was such as a success they even decided to keep the ‘cheating/stealing’ connotation, the corny stock photo that makes it look like a scam, but best of all, the ridiculously low price of US$59.95.

Beginning today, students around the world with an eligible university email address can purchase one copy of Office 2007 Ultimate edition at a discount of over 90% retail price. Alternatively students outside the US can even purchase a yearly-subscription for an even lower price if they’re feeling cheap. This is a limited offer until April 30, 2008 so don’t hold it off. However to minimize cost, users will have to download a considerably large file from the website to install.

The reason Microsoft is doing this is simply discouraging a generation of young students growing up to be the most pervasive software pirates of tomorrow. If you can buy legit software for the same cost and effort you’re going to spend finding a torrent, downloading that torrent, burning a CD, finding serial numbers and cracks then finally installing it - not to suggest I’ve ever done such things - then

Sometimes what customers want is not always what customers get. Take “Scout” for example, a little piece of Microsoft Research ingenuity that really helps users with the new Office 2007 “Fluent” interface. As religious as I am about the Ribbon and contextual interface, I suffer just as much knowing a feature exists somewhere in the application that I just can’t find in the Ribbon. I mean how do I know what context it’s in? And I’m almost certain I’m not the only one suffering.

Developed and distributed internally at Microsoft as a proof-of-concept, “Scout” solves the problem by offering a simple and straight-forwarding search solution. You basically type the command you are thinking of, and you’ll be presented a list of matching command buttons. And unlike commands in the Ribbon which are only a select few picked by someone else who thought might be relevant, this search goes deep into the application to find anything and everything.

Even though it was highly favored by Microsoft employees, Scout was never released to the public. Chris Capossela, corporate VP for Microsoft’s business division argued Scout was “superfluous and potentially confusing”. No. The only thing superfluous are the features I can’t find.

Of course, who needs overconfident Microsoft vice presidents when you have software developers like Jeff Scanlon. He wrote to me this week about a little something he’s been working on only recently because he came across my posts about Scout. I’ll
