Only 244 copies of Genuine Windows Vista sold in China
« on: April 18, 2007, 08:51:47 PM »

Microsoft spent millions of dollars advertising its next generation OS 'Windows Vista' in China, in fact the IT juggernaut threw up the biggest Vista Ad on the 421 meter high Jin Mao tower in Shanghai China. However after 2 weeks (Jan 19 to Feb 2) from launch Microsoft managed to sell a mere 244 copies of Windows Vista. Software piracy is rampant in the middle kingdom and a pirated version of Vista sells for a mere $1 on the streets. The following numbers are quoted by Windows Vista chief distributor in Bejing.

If we’re not careful, robots will kill us all.

Pirates? On my internet?

......it's more likely than you think.

Yeah.....that bit of news doesn't surprise me one bit. Especially the part that goes "Software piracy is rampant". It all makes perfect sense from there.

"Piracy. the best choice." Or something like that someone here on GATT put as their sig once, along with a link to an interesting article on piracy. Can that person post that article again?


244 copies. 244 persons. 244 computers in a country with a 1 billion+ population... hell, they must have bought it to crack, copy and sell anyway...lol
