Why exactly do you want more protection against piracy? Every protection scheme is just a disadvantage to legitimate users, and a minor inconvenience to those who pirate (need to wait for a crack) and usually the pirated versions end up less restricted due to the protections being removed.
Also, if Microsoft started to lose a significant market share, I could see WGA disappearing. It is well known that Microsoft's current dominance is partly due to the fact their software has been easy to pirate, and a Microsoft executive has also been quoted saying that if you're going to pirate software, it might as well be their's.
That said, I would definitely like to see BOTH Apple and Linux taking a decent amount of market share.
