Only 244 copies of Genuine Windows Vista sold in China

Microsoft spent millions of dollars advertising its next generation OS ‘Windows Vista’ in China, in fact the IT juggernaut threw up the biggest Vista Ad on the 421 meter high Jin Mao tower in Shanghai China. However after 2 weeks (Jan 19 to Feb 2) from launch Microsoft managed to sell a mere 244 copies of Windows Vista.

It’s not much of a surprise that Microsoft doesn’t fare as well in China as it does on these shores, but 244 copies?! It goes to show just how bad piracy has become over there. Or, the majority are smart enough to not run Vista.
