NOTE: The blog entry sourced for this post is a little misleading.
Apparently, some enterprising individual is packaging Windows 7 beta into a full product and selling it. A blog from CNET Asia reported finding a package labeled ”Windows 7 Ultimate” at a market notorious for selling pirated software. The package was reportedly being sold for PHP70.00, or currently US$1.43. And get this, the package contains a CD! I don’t know about you, but I would guess Windows 7 Ultimate will not come in a CD.
Wouldn’t it been better, or maybe even legal if they’ve labeled the product for what it is “Windows 7 beta” and target local pc users who don’t have high speed internet access?
Anyways, that’s your Asian software market.
