When they say China is a land of pirated DVDs, they are 100% right about it. Microsoft only sold a measly 244 copies of Windows Vista in China, during the two week period after its launch. The best part is, Microsoft spend millions of dollars to promote Windows Vista, I guess Bill Gates and gang got it all wrong about pricing, would you buy a $1 pirated DVD or a $200 dollars original DVD?
According to source, the average income per household in China is about $200 and to spend one month hard earn money on a DVD is ridiculous. It is about time Microsoft price their product accordingly to a country’s economic, after all it is better to make a million dollars than none.
p.s. These guys made a typo error, it reads “Ulimate”

Well if its package in 1mm thin cardboard what can you expect, at least they had Mini & Mikey in Santa hats…the kids would love it.
@Stavanger. Even though it comes in a poor way of packaging, it runs a full version of vista ultimate. And that is alot considering that it only cost around $2 – $3 in my country.
Only 244 copies, amazing..
