*John* Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Perhaps the 'War on Piracy' will soon end. Perhaps my arse will start to dispense $100 bills?

Rohdekill Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Perhaps the 'War on Piracy' will soon end. It's sponsored by the same people that sponsored "The War on Drugs". I doubt they'll ever realize it's a no-win scenario.

The2 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Interesting.. I was totally shocked when I saw this: 244 copies? wtf? But, that's not so awful as everyone thinks, China will in the coming years change that habit (does anyone have any doubts in that?) and Microsoft will be No.1 no matter what, because everyone will be used to use Microsoft products. .. same thing was in my country, 15 years ago, there was exactly 0 places where you could buy original software. And no one was bothered with that. Now, It's not worth the risk, if you're doing some serious business. Things change fast, somewhere faster, somewhere slower.

yuyingfenpiao Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 news.com reported that MS said the real amount Vista sold in China doubled that of XP. not 244 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/554645-only-244-genuine-windows-vistas-sold-in-china/page/3/#findComment-588494945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rado354 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Windows Vista being a complete crap (in comparison with XP) is not even pirated that much. How do you expect to actually sell copies? :rofl: Believe it or not, most people are not even aware Vista was released.

azz0r_wugg Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 that's awesome How exactly is that awesome? Its a good job the rest of the world isnt like that, otherwise no-one would develop software would they. China's goverment and police force should be ashamed.

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted April 21, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 21, 2007 That doesn't surprise me at all with the price Microsoft is asking. ?Didn't say I agree with piracy however:// Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/554645-only-244-genuine-windows-vistas-sold-in-china/page/3/#findComment-588495502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak0bk Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 news.com reported that MS said the real amount Vista sold in China doubled that of XP. not 244 The sad thing is, there are replies to this topic that show that people still believe this! Pink Floyd, a mod, for god sakes has not read the news posted on the main page! This article is a crock of ****. Everyone needs to get your act together and pay ATTENTION. Especially the mods.
