Story: Microsoft proposes Chinese piracy amnesty

Microsoft call these people criminals when they are the real criminals. First they force all the other Chinese (and other) Operating System producers out of business, then they force everyone to pay a months salary to purchase a copy.

I think people there (and here for that matter) should increase pirating of Microsoft products just to force Microsoft to offer decent prices.

Its easy to get Windows or Office from Bittorrent, Gnutella or Kazaa (although Kazaa includes evil spyware). Doing so will save yourself several hundred quid in the process and give you a full working copy which is just as good as the original!
