"Days after a beaming Bill Gates unveiled his much-vaunted Windows Vista software at a retail price of $400 for the premium version, Latin American street vendors are hawking pirate copies for under $10."

They create little IP but get the benefit without having to expend capital. I mean if they could get free cars, do you think they wouldn't? So it doesn't make sense to think that they're making an example of a school teacher to satisfy the WTO. I mean if you want to make an example, I'm sure there are far less sympathetic people using pirated software. If anything, they're trying to create an example of a poor person just trying to help the children...

Two: angelsvairwaves1 - Have you ever installed OS X? There is no security (in terms of preventing piracy) whatsoever on the retail versions, and the security on the versions bundled with machines is laughable. Now obviously this is because of the different business models, but if you're going to throw in a Apple fanboy comment, try to make it coherent.]]>Feb 6th 2007 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/06/microsoft-rebuffs-gorbachevs-plea-to-help-russian-pirate/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/06/microsoft-rebuffs-gorbachevs-plea-to-help-russian-pirate/"Мне тоже."

Leave that teacher alone! What kind of idiot in Russia would buy legal Windows for the money for 1 copy which that teacher receives for 3 month of work? Bill has enough already. It’s a different world with different economy. They only have two choices out here: get cheap/free OS illegaly or get nothing. ]]>Feb 7th 2007 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/06/microsoft-rebuffs-gorbachevs-plea-to-help-russian-pirate/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/06/microsoft-rebuffs-gorbachevs-plea-to-help-russian-pirate/
