Chinese attitude on buying Vista
The price of Windows Vista in China varies from RMB2000 to RMB2600,I don't know how much Vista costs in your country,but I do confirm few Chinese will buy it because this price is too high to us.
You may not understand why Chinese people love pirate softwares,now let me take Vista for example.
I've mentioned above,the price of Vista is higher than RMB2000(about USD257) may not shake users in developed countries,but do you know it is equal to the average monthly salary in China's economic center Shanghai!So please take this fact into consideration before criticize our behavior of buying pirate softwares.
A recent survey of public opinion from China's portal NetEase shows that 81% of netizens think Microsoft is forcing them to use pirate Vista,17% think Vista is flashy but not substantial,only 1% will buy the original version.
