Offering new evidence of the problem piracy poses to software giant Microsoft Corp., law-enforcement authorities announced Friday they had seized counterfeit goods valued at about $100 million, including about $60 million of fake Microsoft products, as part of an 18-month sting operation in Southern California.
Microsoft trumpeted the bust as a victory in its intense campaign against piracy, but the company is struggling with the problem despite antipiracy features in new products such as its just-introduced Windows XP operating system.
