only 244 copies of vista sold in china!

For them, pirating isnt really like a crime, its just a less well packaged version of something that would be WAY more expensive. Not a big deal.
 
most people just pirate it anyways...

lesson to kent, until everybody have a better understanding of the topic, don't get to worked up about it.

Chinese maybe poor compare to US but If you were to live in china then I don't think you would said what you just said here. There is saying in china that goes something like this. Good news don't get out of the door wile bad news will travel thousands of miles. The things that people see in the news are only portion of what china is all about.

When I went back to china last summer, I can goto a fancy restaurant and order a steak for less then 3USD. Can I get it here? A lunch for 5 people in a family cost less then 10USD, can we do that here in the US? Some of you may say, will they eat shit thats why its so cheap. If you are one of these people then you have been eating shit.

This topic disgusts me, not that Chinese people are pirating Vista, but i would bet almost anything that more than 75% of people on the site, whether they will admit to it or not, have downloaded music and/or used a illegal torrent before now.

There is very little diffrence. there just stealing from MS instead of whatever band, movie company or game company.

Hippocracy runs rampant

EDIT: Or even no CD fixed EXE when you don't own the game.

Well I guess its true that you can eat a cheap steak in China? You do know that theres nothing like the FDA in China. If there Dog food is killing Dogs all over the world and there Toothpaste has Anti-freeze in it you can eat all the steaks in China you want.

It's so easy for them to pirate XP and earlier OS's, and much harder for Vista. Also, China is cheap :)

Not true at all first copy of vista that was ripped and working was posted 1 week after it was released.
I am not a big vista fan mainly because it has a ton of stuff I don't want or really like and takes up a ton of my resources from my gaming + the fact all my old games don't work on it.
I only use it to play Halo 2 (which rocks btw) and soon Halo 3.
Tho I got lucky and got vista home premium from work.

Copying the CD/DVD itself and installing it isnt whats changed, but the activation is whats getting harder to break. Obviously they have cracks and so forth (illegal though), but even when you use them, there are certain programs and tasks that cant be done without validation.
 
what sort of tasks?
Well with XP SP2, if you have an illegal version of windows that cant be validated or activated, then you cant install IE7, WMP11, you cant receive updates for Windows, and you cant download the majority of the programs from the Microsoft.com site.

Im afraid you are wrong...i dont support illegal activities but i do know all of these things can be bypassed ;)
 
In China this is ver common the always like to save this kind of money and rather buy those illegal SW to load to their PC

Thats too true, Anyone ever been to ShangHai or any other main cities at china?? Well inside the town, you will see its fairly not that poor, but if you go about 5 miles out, you will see farmers and people with no clothes unable to afford even shirts and pants... Well, instead of helping those people, US is wasting about 2 Grand per SECOND on stupid War they started... Also it is said to be that there was more Afganistan people than Iraq terrorists hijacking the plane... its a shame seriously...
NOTE: Instead of the war, we spended money enough to build another World trade Center and build a Little house for every Hobos on the street...(Well not every, but most)
OR have afforded to build shacks and provide clothes for all those poor people who live in China...

Well, what your saying is actually wrong, lot of programmers , and even I can forge a program that can bypass validiation, making the program mistake that the version of windows is a Genuine version... Like always, people found way to install SP2 long ago even though they had illegal copies...

Im afraid you are wrong...i dont support illegal activities but i do know all of these things can be bypassed ;)

And Just like you, I also do not support illegal activities such providing bypass programs... I don't really like the law you know :D

Perhaps, but don't forget the power of the mouth, there are allot of people in china and if you don't ask around then you will get no were. Use what ever resource is available.

What brand of dog food and toothpaste are you referring to? And how do you know the Dog food in china is killing dogs all over the world. and the Anti-freeze Toothpaste?

Dude you have got allot to learn. Don't take in 100% of what the media has to report, there is always the other side of the story. I will not mention any particular media but if you watch the news then you should have no problem with what I said.



I've got some bad news:

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x36/Pyrofreezer/WasNotChicken.jpg

your image didn't work. care to post another one? I am interested.

10 USD is almost 80 Chinese dollars. How often do we spend 80 buck at our home for a 5 people lunch?

Thats just a sham. I talked to some solders who comes to our restaurant to have their dinner before thy gets shipped over sea. Lots of them are the same age as me, only 20 years old and they already putting their lives on the line. If there is only something I can do for then rather then serving them a little extra food. :(
