Maybe if you consider criminal convictions for copyright infingement a "little effect".
All of those convictions have had no measurable effect on reducing the number of "systems builders" who load pirated software. Microsoft's own actions prove that what they've been doing doesn't work - otherwise, there would be no need for this amnesty program.

And imagine my surprise to "discover" that convicting criminals doesn't eliminate all possible sources of crime. Who'd a thunk it?

I disagree. It's yet one more approach to combating piracy. It doesn't eliminate criminal prosecution for copyright violation.
