WHILE THE REST OF THE WORLD is seeing a huge slump in software sales, China has seen its exports in code increase by 34.7 per cent over the last year.
According to the men from the Chinese Ministry, China exported $1.98 billion worth of software during the first two months of 2009, a 34.7 percent increase over the same period from 2008.
This growth, however, is 9.4 per cent lower than that of the same period last year which seems to indicate that the Chinese economy is not completely immune to the economic downturn.
The export of software outsourcing services increased by 53.4 percent to $220 million. µ

I can't wait to try it! Apparently you don't have to pay for it. So the $220m is what it would have made if you did have to pay for it, which you don't, because you don't have to, so you shouldn't, and even if you should you don't have to, so don't. Really.
