Maybe the Nigerian government has employed some 419ers?

Dear MICROSOFT, we have inherited a large fortune from UNNAMED SOURCE. We would like to share this with you. Please send 400,000 COPIES OF MICROSOFT WINDOWS to the address agreed upon and we will transfer the funds to your bank account.

One very important thing to take into consideration is the final impact on the East African software market this will have. Microsoft has a lot more to loose than just a few licenses which they will endup giving away for token amounts.

Nigeria, after South Africa is the most influential market in Africa and the Vole knows this.

If the vole wins, then millions of school leavers entering the job market will force companies to invest into Voleware. If only 10% of such companies actually pay for there licence (here in Africa the BSA is not proactive and not all companies choose to go legal) then the Vole has a lucrative revenue stream from Africas most populas and 2nd wealthist nation.

The Vole learnt a lot here in South Africa with our companies having to meet their employment equity quotas. They have either gone the Vole-Office or Open-Office route depending on the staff they employed.
