Microsoft Cuts Vista Price in Half

Posted by Jeff as Companies, Open Source

But only in China.

The price cut is the company’s latest effort to tackle the rampant software piracy in China, according to The Wall Street Journal. The theory is that if legitimate software costs less, people will be less likely to turn to pirated versions.

Or it could be an effort to thwart the rise of Linux in China.

China would like to force Chinese to pay full price for Microsoft products, thus forcing more people to use Linux.
