Only 244 Copies of Vista Sold in China

chinavista.jpg

Microsoft sold a whopping 244 genuine copies of Windows Vista in China during its first two weeks of availability. (It sold some 20 million copies of the OS in its first month of availability globally.) So either no one in China uses Microsoft operating systems, or they do a whole lot of piracy over there. My guess is it’s the latter.

  2. People are still buying machines with XP as the OS. No one wants Vista with all the bad publicity about the new OS. So what’s so strange about that? I recently bought a laptop and I chose an XP version.

  3. googlebk: You’re either one of two things: 1) someone who has been living under a rock for the past 6 months, or 2) brainwashed by Chinese communist propaganda to believe that China is an ideal place.

    If there is no piracy in China, then what is this?
