microsoft has launched it's windows vista operating sysytem in china. the new product sell at 2000~2600?(us$257-335),far exceeding the expectations. some people expecetd the chinese version cost just 300-500.
reports said that vista retails for 100$ to 400$ in the global markets,depending on the version and whether the user is upgreading from windows xp.
so the price in china is almost the same as in the developed countries,but the chinese earned far less than their counterparts in the western world. maybe their will force many chinese to buy pirated one for less than 10 ?,will microsoft adjust the price?
will you spend more than 2000? or just 10? on the system?

Hey i would suggest you 2 wait for the market now is very vulnerable and can do anything.
Wait and Watch the local thugs will bring out the pirated version, but the news says that they are strong and cannot pirate it.
For now i have my older version of Windows 98 which i bought original. My system is virus free as i have all updates donw every now and then.
But in case if you are going for a new one then i would suggest you to go 4 an original one.
