Why Not? Apple's app signing is a good example for piracy proof way of
using a AppStore to distribute software. If Ubuntu goes the same way with
its paid apps, why can't MS get a piracy proof method?
I don't think they will. Because to build a Linux version and offer it to
people, they need to release the source code as well. Which they will not
do.

How is this piracy-proof?
It is not. But atleast more people will be willing to pay for it.
