Software piracy is rampant in the middle kingdom and a pirated version of Vista sells for a mere $1 on the streets. The following numbers are quoted by Windows Vista chief distributor in Bejing.

may be linux is also getting more market share there,as Chinese sarkar is pushing Open SOurce and Free Software.they dont like Windows to be used by their nationals which is closed and Made in US of A.they may be preferring Red Flag Linux a derivative of Redhat Linux.

Microsoft says that a report that it sold only 244 copies of Vista in China in the first two weeks is just plain wrong. Microsoft wouldn't totally clear things up by saying just how many copies it has sold in China, but it did say the first month's sales of boxed Vista copies in China were double those XP had in its first month.
