Taiwan Forces MS To Cut Prices, Unbundle Software

bev_tech_rob writes "This article from ZDNet reports how Microsoft has agreed to cut prices on their software after a backlash from the country's effort to crack down on piracy. Seems the citizens were forced to obtain pirated copies due to the high cost and having to buy software they did not need to get the parts they DID need."

    But why should MS be concerned? Taiwan was famous for nothing more than piracy - the theft of MS's software. Remind me why they would care about what Taiwan says?
