The Vole has China on its mind
Fri Aug 03 2007, 15:02
THE RETAIL PRICE OF Microsoft Vista was cut by over a half in China on Wednesday in a bid to prevent widespread
piracy of the OS.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the price cuts on Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium are to encourage people to use the legal version of the OS.
Estimates of the use of pirated software in mainland China ranges from between 80 per cent and 90 per cent. ยต
