Chinese Piracy on a (Gradual) Decline

Saturday October 31, 2009

Chinese software piracy may be declining, but Shanghai consumers were still able to buy Windows 7 a week before it's legitimate release. For about $3.00.

According to Edward Yu, chief executive of research firm Analysys International, Software piracy in China is "a long term issue, 10-20 years, it's not just going to go away in an instant."

So,with luck, maybe the problem will be solved in time for Windows 70?
