When is MS going to figure out that the Linux OS model is better for business? You're never going to get Asian lower-middle class people to pay any appreciable amount of money for your software; they simply don't have the resources. Even if you took a month's salary from every Chinese user of your software, it probably wouldn't move your stock price by a single dollar. Undercut the pirates, give the "Home" version of the software away, then charge businesses a premium for the "Pro" version, and MAKE YOUR MONEY ON SUPPORT. Seriously, government and corporate clients will shell out huge amounts of money to sustain a support contract -- that's where your cash comes from, not piddly little Joe (or in this case Zhao) Six-Pack buying his individual license for Vista.
